Heart rhythm patterns in chronic kidney disease patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how chronic kidney disease (long-term kidney damage) affects heart rhythm. Researchers will monitor your heart to understand these patterns better, which may help doctors treat kidney disease patients more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic kidney disease (CKD)—either managed with dialysis three times per week for at least 3 months, or not yet requiring dialysis
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have not been hospitalized in the past 3 months
- You do not currently take certain heart medications (like amiodarone, clarithromycin, fluconazole, or chlorpromazine) that can affect heart rhythm
- You do not have significant structural heart disease or a weak heart (ejection fraction of 50% or higher)
- You do not have active cancer, severe infection, sepsis, or major bleeding

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.
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.
This study is looking at the link between kidney disease and heart disease. It aims to understand how heart problems affect people with chronic kidney disease. The trial does not test a new drug, but rather follows patients to learn more about their health.
This study looks at changes in a heart rhythm measurement called QTc interval in people on regular dialysis. It may help doctors understand heart risks in dialysis patients.
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.
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.
