Left atrial and ventricular systolic and diastolic myocardial mechanics in patients with end‐stage renal disease

Abstract

Myocardial strain measurements quantitated the abnormalities in both LV diastolic and LA function associated with the uremic state. The distinct abnormal diastolic parameters were suggestive of abnormal relaxation and increased filling pressures. Early and accurate assessment of diastolic function may help tailor patient management ESRD.
