Motivation: Hemodialysis is a common risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Left atrial function and strain are effective predictors of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Goal(s): The aim was to assess the alterations in left atrial function and strain following hemodialysis, with the objective of enabling early diagnosis of cardiac changes and risk stratification in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Approach: Patients with advanced CKD were enrolled, including those who had not started hemodialysis and those who had started regular hemodialysis. Left atrial function and strain parameters were compared between the two groups.
Results: Left atrial function and strain deteriorated with increasing hemodialysis age.
Impact: Early detection of left atrial function and strain changes and timely intervention are of great significance for the prevention of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CKD.
