In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), reverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling, including reduction in LV mass, can be observed following long-term haemodialysis (HD) and has been attributed to regression of LV hypertrophy. However, LV mass can vary in response to changes in myocyte volume, edema, or fibrosis. The aims of this study were to investigate the acute changes in structural (myocardial mass and biventricular volumes) and tissue characterization parameters (native T1 and T2) f ...[more]
