title: [Variants of left ventricular hypertrophy in patients on programmed hemodialysis].
abstract: Programmed hemodialysis (PHD) was successfully used in 189 of 207 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) treated in Ulyanovsk Regional Hemodialysis Center for 10 years. To improve PHD results and prevent fatal complications, a search for objective prognostic indices of cardiovascular disease function was initiated. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) development was compared in two groups of patients of different age (group 1--69 young patients aged 18-40 years; group 2--48 elderly patients aged 55-73 years. Concentric LVH transformed into excentric or mixed one in parallel to an increase of the patients' "dialysis age". This trend was prognostically unfavourable in both groups of patients especially in older patients.
