Heart rhythm problems in chronic kidney disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how often people with chronic kidney disease have irregular heartbeats. It compares people on dialysis with those not on dialysis to understand the risk and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have chronic kidney disease, either on dialysis for at least 3 months or not on dialysis
- You have not been hospitalized or had a serious illness in the last 3 months
- You are not taking certain medications that affect heart rhythm (like some antibiotics, antifungals, or heart rhythm drugs)
- You do not have significant heart valve problems or heart failure (ejection fraction less than 50%)

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.
This study looks at whether two simple blood tests (D-dimer and CRP) can help predict heart problems in people on dialysis. If you join, they would check these markers in your blood and see if they relate to your heart health.
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 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 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 looks at new heart health tests for people with kidney disease. It may help doctors better understand heart risks and improve care.
