Right Ventricular Dysfunction Across Chronic Kidney Disease Stages: An Echocardiographic Cross-Sectional Study

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Heart ultrasound scans found weaker function in the right side of the heart in people with kidney disease, and it looked worse at later kidney stages. The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs. This was a snapshot in time, so it shows a link between kidney stage and heart function, not proof that one caused the other.
