Dynamic Echocardiographic Assessments Reveal Septal E/e’ Ratio as Independent Predictor of Intradialytic Hypotension in Maintenance for Hemodialysis Patients with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Background: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a frequent and grave complication of hemodialysis (HD). However, the dynamic hemodynamic changes and cardiac performances during each dialytic session have been rarely explored in patients having IDH. Methods: Seventy-six HD patients (IDH = 40, controls...
