Heart risk prediction in dialysis patients using a questionnaire
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how a simple questionnaire (called KCCQ) about your heart health and quality of life can help predict future heart risks for people on dialysis. Researchers want to see if your answers to this questionnaire can help doctors take better care of you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study asks heart failure patients who recently were hospitalized to answer regular questionnaires about how they're feeling. Researchers want to see if these questions can detect when heart failure is getting worse before a patient needs emergency care.
This study checks how heart and kidney health are related in people with kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. It is a single visit with tests to see if certain heart problems are common in these conditions.
This study looks at how well the heart's pumping and relaxing function works in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on hemodialysis. It may help doctors understand heart problems better in this group.
This study uses a special exercise test, along with heart and kidney measurements, to better predict risks for people with heart failure. It may help your doctors understand your condition and choose the best care for you.
This study aims to understand how much people with chronic kidney disease know about heart disease risk factors. It involves a simple questionnaire (no drugs or procedures) to help improve patient education.
This study looks at new ways to check heart health in people with kidney disease. Researchers want to find out if special blood tests can help predict heart problems in patients on dialysis or those with earlier stage kidney disease.
