Interrogating the haemodynamic effects of haemodialysis arteriovenous fistula on cardiac structure and function

Abstract Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred type of vascular access for maintenance haemodialysis but it may contribute to maladaptive cardiovascular remodelling. We studied the effect of AVF creation on cardiac structure and function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this...
