Mechanical versus bioprosthetic valves in chronic dialysis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CZecking heart failure in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (Czech HF-CKD): Study protocol
DISCUSSION: This trial will differ from others by: (1) detailed repeated hemodynamic assessment including arteriovenous access flow and (2) by careful assessment of adequate hydration to avoid confusion between HF and water overload.PMID:35676802 | DOI:10.1177/11297298221099843
