METHODS: We prospectively investigated HF in ESRD patients on HD using echocardiography pre- and post-HD. We used the structural and functional abnormality criteria of the 2021 European Society of Cardiology guidelines.
RESULTS: A total of 54 patients were enrolled. The mean age was 62.6 years, and 40.1% were male. Forty-five patients (83.3%) had hypertension, 28 (51.9%) had diabetes, and 20 (37.0%) had ischemic heart disease. The mean N-terminal-pro brain natriuretic peptide BNP (NT-proBNP) level was 12,388.8 ± 2,592.2 pg/dL. The mean ideal body weight was 59.3 kg, mean hemodialysis time was 237.4 min, and mean real filtration was 2.8 kg. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 62.4%, and mean left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was 52.0 mm in pre-HD. Post-HD echocardiography showed significantly lower left atrial volume index (33.3 ± 15.9 vs. 40.6 ± 17.1, p = 0.030), tricuspid regurgitation jet V (2.5 ± 0.4 vs. 2.8 ± 0.4 m/s, p < 0.001), and right ventricular systolic pressure (32.1 ± 10.3 vs. 38.4 ± 11.6, p = 0.005) compared with pre-HD. There were no differences in LVEF, E/E\' ratio, or left ventricular global longitudinal strain. A total of 88.9% of pre-HD patients and 66.7% of post-HD patients had either structural or functional abnormalities in echocardiographic parameters according to recent HF guidelines (p = 0.007).
CONCLUSIONS: Our data showed that the majority of patients undergoing hemodialysis satisfy the diagnostic criteria for HF according to current HF guidelines. Pre-HD patients had a 22.2% higher incidence in the prevalence of functional or structural abnormalities as compared with post-HD patients.
方法:我们使用HD前后的超声心动图前瞻性研究了ESRD患者的HF。我们使用2021年欧洲心脏病学会指南的结构和功能异常标准。
结果:共纳入54例患者。平均年龄为62.6岁,40.1%为男性。45例(83.3%)有高血压,28人(51.9%)患有糖尿病,20例(37.0%)患有缺血性心脏病。平均N末端脑钠肽前体(NT-proBNP)水平为12,388.8±2,592.2pg/dL。平均理想体重为59.3公斤,平均血液透析时间为237.4分钟,平均实际过滤量为2.8kg。平均左心室射血分数(LVEF)为62.4%,HD前的平均左心室舒张末期直径为52.0mm。HD后超声心动图显示左心房容积指数明显降低(33.3±15.9vs.40.6±17.1,p=0.030),三尖瓣反流射流V(2.5±0.4vs.2.8±0.4m/s,p<0.001),和右心室收缩压(32.1±10.3vs.与HD前相比,38.4±11.6,p=0.005)。LVEF没有差异,E/E比率,或左心室整体纵向应变。根据最近的HF指南,共有88.9%的HD前患者和66.7%的HD后患者在超声心动图参数方面存在结构或功能异常(p=0.007)。
结论:我们的数据显示,大多数接受血液透析的患者符合目前HF指南的HF诊断标准。与HD后患者相比,HD前患者的功能或结构异常患病率高22.2%。
