[Heart valve calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease].
The aim of the study was to identify factors related to heart valve calcification (HVC) and effect of HVC on intracardiac hemodynamics in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). 377 CKD patients of the control group and 132 ones treated by hemodialysis (HD) were examined using echocardiography, cardiomonitoring, measurement of the carotid intima-media thickness and mineral bone density, X-ray imaging of calcified abdominal aorta. HVC was diagnosed in 38.9 and 27.3% of the CKD patients on hemodialysis and without it respectively. In both groups, patients with HVC were older than HVC-free ones, more of them had coronary heart disease, cardiac insufficiency, aortic calcinosis, and biochemically identifiable inflammation. In the absence of hemodialysis, patients with HVC had thicker intima-media compex, lower glomerular filtration rate, higher arterial pressure, and increased occurrence of diabetes mellitus. In HVC patients receiving hemodialysis, its duration was longer, blood PTH and calcium levels higher, forearm MOC lower. HVC associated with stenosis of mitral and aortic valves, aortic regurgitation, enlarged left and right atrium, thickened left and right ventricular wall. Multifactor analysis showed that HVC in patients receiving hemodialysis was related to the age, disbalance of phosporus and sodium, and duration of hemodialysis; in its absence, it was related to intima-media thickness and diabetes mellitus. Thus, in patients of the latter group, HVC was in the first place associated with atherosclerosis aggravated by a decrease of glomerular filtration rate and with the presence of diabetes. In patients receiving hemodialysis, HVC correlated with phosporus/sodium disbalance and atherosclerosis. The study revealed negative effect of HVC on intracardiac hemodynamics and for the first time demonstrated decreased MOC in patients with HYC.
