[Left ventricular geometric patterns and cardiac function in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis].

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to estimate the impact and prevalence of left ventricular geometric alterations and systolic and diastolic dysfunction in hemodialysis patients, as well as the relationship with cardiac troponin as a marker of myocardial damage.

Methods: 31 patients (pts), 19 males and 12 females, age 58.1+/-16.
