Abstract :

Abstract: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of Left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its possible association with patterns of blood pressure (BP), left ventricular mass index and mortality. Method: Two–dimensional and M–mode echocardiography was performed to determine Left ventricular mass by the method of Devereux and indexed (LVMI) to body surface area surface using Du Bois Formula on 40 patients who were on hemodialysis (HD) and 31 patients suffering from CKD. The patients were classified on the basis of having left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) provided LVMI was ≥95 g/m2 for women or 115 g/m2 for men. Follow–up duration was calculated from the date of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) till the end of the study or to the date on which an outcome of death has occurred. Causes of death were classified into cardiovascular death (ischemic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, stroke and sudden death) and death not related to cardio vascular disease.
