Serum n-3 and n-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Profile as an Independent Predictor of Cardiovascular Events in Hemodialysis Patients
Conclusions: In hemodialysis patients, serum PUFA profile is unfavorably altered, and the low n-3-PUFA:AA ratios are independent predictors of CVD.

Cardiovascular mortality due to pulmonary embolism in subjects with renal impairment: patients’ comorbidities are crucial
Abstract we read with great interest the paper by Ocak et al. (1). The authors found that the age‐ and sex‐standardized mortality rate (SMR) for pulmonary embolism (PE) was 12.2 (95% CI 10.2‐14.6) times higher in dialysis patients than in the general population. Such SMR was even higher than that of myocardial infarction (MI) (11.0, 95% CI 10.6‐11.4), stroke (8.4 (95% CI 8.0‐8.8), and other cardiovascular disease (8.3, 95% CI 8.0‐8.5) On the one hand, the association between the different grade of impaired renal function and MI received important confirmation (2), and also a recent study from our group conducte...

Sailing between Scylla and Charybdis: oral long-term anticoagulation in dialysis patients
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients exhibit an increased risk of bleeding compared with non-chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients due to uraemic platelet dysfunction, altered vessel architecture and other factors. This renders any long-term oral anticoagulation potentially difficult. While there is little doubt that ESRD patients with recurrent thromboembolism or a mechanical cardiac valve should receive vitamin K antagonists (coumarins), the use of coumarins in ESRD patients with atrial fibrillation is a matter of debate. In non-CKD patients, current guidelines strongly recommend the use of oral anticoagulants for str...

Outcomes of Thrombolytic Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Dialysis Dependant Patients in the United States (S02.003)
CONCLUSIONS: The three fold higher odds of in-hospital mortality associated with administration of IV thrombolytics in dialysis dependant patients who present with acute ischemic stroke warrants a careful assessment of risk benefit ratio in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Adil has nothing to disclose.

Seek and You Shall Find—But Then What Do You Do? Cold Agglutinins in Cardiopulmonary Bypass and a Single-Center Experience With Cold Agglutinin Screening Before Cardiac Surgery
Abstract: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery can involve deliberate hypothermia of the systemic (22-36°C) and coronary circulations (as low as 8-12°C). Adverse sequelae of cold-active antibodies have been feared and reported under such conditions, and some centers thus elect to screen for cold agglutinins before CPB. We reviewed the literature on cold agglutinins in cardiac surgery and described the yields and effects of cold agglutinin screening (CAS) in 14900 cardiac surgery patients undergoing CPB over 8 years at a single institution. Cold agglutinin screening was positive in 47 cases (0.3%), at an an...
