In patients with uraemia, the haemodialysis session induces a progressive increase in QT interval and modifies its relationship with heart rate. These effects may predispose some individuals to ventricular arrhythmias at the end of and immediately after the haemodialysis session.

In a case series of HD patients, QTc was associated with total mortality and SCD. Further studies to test this hypothesis in a larger population are necessary.

Altogether, celecoxib treatment improves UF capacity and reduces morphological alterations in our rat PD model.

Changes of plasma ionic concentrations may lead to modifications of atrial electrophysiology that can favour AF onset, namely a decrease of atrial CV and a decrease of atrial ERP.
