Left Atrial Remodeling Assessed by Cardiac MRI after Conversion from Conventional Hemodialysis to In-Centre Nocturnal Hemodialysis

Background Left atrial (LA) volume is a well-established cardiovascular prognosticator in patients with end-stage renal disease. Although dialysis intensification is associated with left ventricular mass regression, there are limited data regarding LA remodeling. Using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), we examined changes in LA size and function relative to ventricular remodeling and cardiac biomarkers after dialysis intensification.
