Checking heart function during dialysis for kidney failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the heart relaxes and fills with blood in people with kidney failure who are on hemodialysis. By checking this, doctors hope to better understand heart health in dialysis patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have never had a heart attack.
- You do not have a heart rhythm problem (arrhythmia).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks for high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) in people on hemodialysis for kidney failure. It uses special tests to measure fluid levels and heart function, aiming to better assess and manage this condition.
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 uses a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) to predict outcomes in people hospitalized for sudden heart failure. If you are receiving IV fluid-removing medication, the results may help your doctors understand your condition better.
This study looks at how well the heart and blood vessels work together during dialysis sessions. It may help doctors predict future heart problems so they can better care for people on dialysis.
This study looks at how the electrical activity of the heart (which controls your heartbeat) changes during and after your regular dialysis sessions. The goal is to see if dialysis affects your heart's rhythm, which can help doctors monitor and prevent heart problems in people on dialysis.
This study looks at how skipping dialysis sessions might affect your heart in the short term. It aims to understand if missing treatments increases the risk of heart problems, which could help improve care for people on dialysis.
