Elevated E/E' predicts cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients with preserved systolic function.

摘要: Objective We conducted a cohort study to investigate whether diastolic function could predict cardiovascular (CV) events in 161 HD patients with preserved systolic function. Materials and Methods The ratio of early transmitral flow velocity mitral annular (E/E') was measured by tissue Doppler imaging. Patients were stratified into two groups based on they experienced CV event. Results During 4-year follow-up period, 64 E/E' values (15.18 ± 5.78) the CV-event group significantly higher than who had not event (12.32 4.23). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that incidence whose >15 ≤15 (log-rank p=0.0016). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression revealed be significant predictor LV Conclusion results this showed elevated chronic predicts better other echocardiographic parameters.
