STUDY OF LEFT VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION IN CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE PATIENTS

Dr. Darshan P Thakkar, Dr. Manish N Mehta

Abstract :

In the recent years, the prevalence of Chronic Renal failure has increased in the community, resulting in increasing number of admission and decreased life expectancy. In the chronic renal failure (CRF) population left ventricular dysfunction (LVDys) is common . Aim of the present study is to estimate the prevalence of Left Ventricular Dysfunction by Echocardiography in patients with Chronic Renal Failure and to find out Correlation of Left Ventricular Dysfunction with severity of Chronic Renal Failure. This study revealed that there is significant increase in prevalence of LV dysfunction as severity of CKD increase. Burden of diastolic dysfunction is very large compared to systolic dysfunction even in CKD stage 1–3. And its prevalence is even greater than the prevalence of LVH in this group (14.8%).
