High-flow arteriovenous fistula and myocardial fibrosis in hemodialysis patients with non-contrast cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
BackgroundThe role of high-flow arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in cardiovascular morbidity in hemodialysis (HD) patients is very likely under-recognized. We assessed the relationship between high access flow (Qa) and myocardial fibrosis in HD patients.MethodsMyocardial fibrosis was assessed by native T...
