Abstract
Background and Objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant global health concern that is associated with an independent increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The presence and severity of CKD are closely linked to the progression of coronary atherosclerosis, ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, valvular calcification and abnormalities in the cardiac conduction system. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of systolic and diastolic dysfunction in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis.
