Abstract:Background: To detect the left ventricular (LV) systolic function in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients by using myocardial work (MW) technique. And investigated the clinical value of the MW technique for the quantitative analysis of left ventricular (LV) systolic function in MHD patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).Methods: A total of 58 MHD patients and 29 normal subjects were registered in this study. The MHD patients were divided into the non-left ventricular hypertrophy (NLVH) group (n=32… Show more
