Long-term outcomes of left atrial appendage occlusion in patients with atrial fibrillation and end stage renal disease
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term outcomes of LAAO therapy may be less favorable in patients with AF undergoing dialysis, possibly because of the poor condition of patients with ESRD.PMID:37394333 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2023.06.016

Risk of Major Cardiovascular Disease after Exposure to Contrast Media: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study on Dialysis Patients
Metabolites. 2023 Feb 13;13(2):266. doi: 10.3390/metabo13020266.ABSTRACTContrast associated kidney injury is caused by side effects of iodinated contrast media (ICM), including inflammation. Chronic inflammation among dialysis patient contributes to atherosclerosis, which leads to simultaneous conditions of the kidney, brain, and vasculature. Data to investigate the pathologic effects of ICM on cardiovascular complications in dialysis patients are lacking. Dialysis patients who had been exposed to ICM from computed tomography (ICM-CT) were allocated as the ICM-CT cohort (N = 3751), whereas dialysis patients without ICM exp...

IJERPH, Vol. 15, Pages 2082: Syncope and Collapse Are Associated with an Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Dialysis
Conclusion: SC was significantly associated with cardiovascular events and overall mortality in the patients on dialysis. SC may serve as a prodrome for cardiovascular comorbidities, thereby assisting clinicians in identifying high-risk patients.
