Heart function study in kidney dialysis patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have end-stage kidney disease and be on hemodialysis.
- You must not have had a previous heart attack (myocardial infarction).

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 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 looks at a new way to group and treat heart failure along with kidney, liver, and metabolic problems. It may help people with different stages of heart failure, including those with early signs.
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.
This study looks at how the heart and blood vessels work together during dialysis. It may help doctors understand why some patients have heart problems during treatment.
This study looks at how high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in people with chronic kidney disease may affect the heart. Doctors will use echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) to check for changes.
