Estimated Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure and Self-Reported Physical Function in Patients on Hemodialysis.

CONCLUSION: Left ventricular hypertrophy and elevated pulmonary pressure are associated with worse self-reported physical function in patients on hemodialysis. The role of chronic volume overload on PASP and PF score should be evaluated in a prospective manner. © 2015 S. Karger AG, Basel. PMID: 26089100 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
