AI Article Synopsis
- This study compared the effects of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and hemodialysis (HD) on left ventricular function in patients undergoing maintenance dialysis.
- A total of 47 patients participated, with echocardiography used to assess various measures of left ventricular health, revealing that those on CAPD had significantly higher muscle mass and rates of diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy.
- The findings indicate that long-term CAPD treatment is associated with worse left ventricular function compared to HD, highlighting the need for further attention to heart health in patients on CAPD.
Article Abstract
Background: Hemodialysis (HD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) affect left ventricular hemodynamics. This study compared the effect of two treatment modalities, CAPD and HD, on left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions in maintenance dialysis patients.
Methods: A total of 47 patients (24 CAPD and 23 HD) undergoing long-term dialysis were included in the study. Left ventricular functions, left ventricular hypertrophy, and left ventricular geometry were evaluated using echocardiography.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 58.6 ± 11.2 years. The mean dialysis time was 125.1 ± 35.2 months. When echocardiographic parameters were examined, left ventricular muscle mass, mass index, E/e' ratios, and global longitudinal strain were significantly higher in the CAPD group. The rates of diastolic dysfunction (66.7% . 26.1%) and left ventricular hypertrophy (91.7% . 60.9%) were higher in the CAPD group than in the HD group. Dialysis modality CAPD, abnormal global longitudinal strain (GLS), and increased serum calcium were associated with an increased risk of diastolic dysfunction.
Conclusions: The study results demonstrated that left ventricle (LV) diastolic dysfunction and deterioration in left ventricular geometry were significantly higher in patients receiving long-term CAPD treatment than for long-term HD treatment.

Gut dysbiosis serves as an underlying risk factor for the development of hypertension. The resolution of this dysbiosis has emerged as a promising strategy in improving hypertension. Food-derived bioactive protein peptides have become increasingly more attractive in ameliorating hypertension, primarily due to their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities.

Background And Aims: Cirrhosis is characterised by hyperdynamic circulation, which contributes to cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM). However, the expert consensus on CCM did not initially include cardiac structure because of scant evidence. Therefore, this study investigated the associations of cardiac chamber geometry with mortality and CCM.

Background: Non-response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an important issue in the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and non-left bundle branch block (LBBB). Electrocardiogram-gated myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography imaging (G-MPI SPECT) is typically used to assess left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony. This study aimed to determine whether G-MPI parameters are associated with non-responsiveness to CRT.

Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is an emerging physiological pacing technique characterized by stable pacing parameters and a narrower QRS duration. This study aims to compare the long-term efficacy and safety of biventricular pacing (BIVP) and LBBP in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB). A retrospective analysis was conducted on 35 patients with chronic HFrEF accompanied by CLBBB treated at our center from April 2018 to October 2022.

Objectives: Cardiovascular complications are well known in humans with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD), but limited data exist for cats. This study aimed to assess echocardiographic changes, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in Persian cats with PKD to detect early cardiac abnormalities.
Methods: In total, 52 Persian and mixed-Persian cats were enrolled, with 26 cats in the control group and 26 diagnosed with PKD via ultrasound due to the unavailability of genetic testing.
