Abstract :
Cardiovascular alterations contribute to a high mortality rate in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The aim of this study was to investigate the value of echocardiography for evaluation of the left ventricular structure of long-standing hemodialysis patients. This study was done in the renal center in Sinnar Teaching Hospital in echocardiography department using sector probe of 3.5 MHz. The study included 200 cases under regular hemodialysis, using questioner included patient personal data, and echocardiography findings and the data was analyzed using computer programs for analysis (SPSS). The results of this study revealed that according to echocardiography findings 99% of the patients had a thick septum, 81% thick posterior wall, 76% dilated cardiomyopathy. The study showed that the age had negative correlations with Septum, Posterior wall, and a positive correlation with, LVD. In related Weight, levels show negative correlations with the posterior wall, and a positive correlation with LVD, and Septum thickness, but the Duration showed a negative correlation with LVD, and positive correlation septum thickness, posterior wall thickness. This study concluded that echocardiography could be used for follow up hearts of these patients and adjusts the suitable time for an intervention.
