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 looks at how kidney failure affects the small blood vessels and heart muscle in people on dialysis. Researchers want to understand how common these changes are and may use heart imaging and special medications to test how your blood vessels work.
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 whether missing dialysis sessions raises the chance of having a heart problem in the short term. It may help people on regular dialysis understand how important it is to attend every session.
