Comparison of CT acquired cardiac valvular calcification scores in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients undergoing open heart surgery

Comparison of CT acquired cardiac valvular calcification scores in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients undergoing open heart surgery

Study objective: Data is scarce regarding which dialysis modality portends more severe cardiac valvular calcification (CVC). Our aim was to compare the degree of CVC in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patient cohorts prior to open heart surgery (OHS) using a CT calcium score. Design,...
