Impact of Arteriovenous Access Formation on Cardiac Structure and Function in Hemodialysis Patients

Key Points

• This research aims to assess echocardiographic changes following arteriovenous fistula creation and identify predictors of major adverse cardiac events in end-stage renal disease patients.
• Echocardiographic assessments conducted before and after arteriovenous fistula creation.
• Analysis of predictors for major adverse cardiac events was performed in the patient cohort.
• End-stage renal disease patients were monitored for cardiac function and structure changes post-procedure.
• Significant echocardiographic changes observed post-arteriovenous fistula creation.
• Predictors for major adverse cardiac events identified, highlighting the risk factors associated with cardiac health in this population.
