title: [Myocardial remodeling in chronic renal failure patients on hemodialysis].
abstract: Pathologic myocardial changes in is one of the main causes of death in patients with terminal chronic renal failure (CRF). The authors studied structural and functional condition of the myocardium and the effect of various CRF factors on cardiovascular complications. The study demonstrates positive correlation between systolic arterial pressure (AP) and left ventricular (LV) remodeling, as well as between the degree of anemia and LV remodeling in patients with CRF on program hemodialysis. Concentric LV hypertrophy (LVH) was revealed in 24 (65%) patients, eccentric LVH--in 7 (19%) patients. The results show that eccentric LVH with reduced ejection fraction in CRF patients on hemodialysis is associated with high systolic and pulse pressure.
