Abstract EN
The cardiovascular diseases and their complications are the major causes of death of patients with chronic kidney disease and on dialysis.
Aim : Role of non invasive rapid methods, like ECG, in predicting arrhythmias in end stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis.
Methods: 60 patients (23 female, 37 male) with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis were enrolled in this cross sectional study with mean age (52 ± 5.5), A resting 12-lead surface ECG was recorded for each patient, measurement of the longest and shortest intervals QT interval and correction of these intervals by using Bazett's square root formula.
QT-dispersion is measured by finding the difference between these intervals.
The Tp-Te is measured in each precordial lead and is obtained from the difference between QT interval and QTpeak interval.
The LVH is evaluated by Two-dimensional echocardiography.
Measurement of QRS duration and PR interval were done.
Results : Percentage and range of Abnormal values of these parameters includes: QTc interval 83.3 % (456-554 mSec) , QT-dispersion 67% (81-111mSec), TpTe 22.2%(110-120 mSec), PR interval 5% (0.22-0.24 Sec) with no abnormal QRS duration (0%) .
Other findings : peaked T-wave (20%).70% of the patients had LVH.
Patients were divided into those with LVH and those without LVH, maximal QT-dispersion is greater in the group with LVH than those without LVH (44%, 22% respectively), but statistically there is no significant difference.
Conclusion : Electrocardiograms are low cost diagnostic tools for renal therapy centers, and nephrologists must consider QT interval, as measurement of QT and QTc dispersion is a simple bedside method to be used for analyzing ventricular repolarization during hemodialysis.
