The Frequency, Causes and Patterns of Asymptomatic Cardiac Arrhythmias in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis.

In contrast, patients with ventricular arrhythmias had a higher proportion of patients with LVH and left ventricular dysfunction, but the difference failed to reach statistical significance. 16 Genovesi et al . noted that patients with AF were older (71.8 vs 64.7, p < 0.01), and its prevalence increased with age. 21 Also, AF was associated significantly with IHD, dilated cardiomyopathy, acute pulmonary edema, valvular disease, cerebrovascular accidents, and predialysis hyperkalemia. 21 Patients with AF more frequently showed left atrial dilatation, and LVEF was significantly lower.
