QRS-T is high in HD patients. HD enhances the inhomogeneities of action potential. Pre-dialysis QRS-T is mainly associated with troponin T elevation. HD-induced increase in QRS-T is mainly associated with potassium and SI changes. The possible clinical importance of the higher QRS-T in HD patients remains to be confirmed in further studies.

Our study revealed that P-wave SAECG parameters are abnormal in a significant portion of HD patients and improved with HD process. We have also demonstrated that patients' age, volume status as well as the presence of anaemia are important factors influencing P-wave SAECG parameters in HD patients.

Dual-site right ventricular pacing in comparison to RVA pacing improved cardiac systolic function. RVOT appeared to be more advantageous than RVA pacing in patients with impaired, but not in those with preserved left ventricular function. No clear hemodynamic benefit of DuRV in comparison to RVOT pacing in patients with impaired systolic function was observed.
