Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between diastolic dysfunction and fatigue in hemodialysis patients who have a preserved ejection fraction.
- A total of 94 patients, with an average age of about 65, were assessed for fatigue using the Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue Severity (VAS-F) and underwent echocardiographic evaluations.
- The findings reveal that those with higher fatigue scores showed significant differences in diastolic function metrics, specifically lower early diastolic peak velocities and TAPSE, and higher E/e' ratios and pulmonary artery pressures, indicating a potential association between fatigue and diastolic dysfunction.
Background: SARS-CoV2/COVID-19 emerged in China and caused a global pandemic in 2020. The mortality rate has been reported to be between 0% and 14.6% in all patients.

The study aims to search the circadian blood pressure rhythm and the clinical determinants related to reverse dipping pattern in a strictly selected, normotensive population.: The study population was divided into three groups depending on the nocturnal dipping pattern as dipping, non-dipping, and reverse dipping.

However, there are conflicting data on the diagnostic threshold of EBPR and its clinical importance in kidney disease. The aim of this study was to investigate vascular inflammation and subclinical nephropathy in otherwise healthy volunteers with EBPR.
