Uremic cardiomyopathy is a myocardium-involved
complication during the end stage of renal failure,
eventually leading to left ventricular hypertrophy, dilation,
and systolic and diastolic dysfunction.
This study evaluated the left ventricular summation of energy loss (EL-SUM), average energy loss
(EL-AVE), and wall shear stress (WSS) before and after The influence of hemodialysis(HD) using vector flow mapping (VFM) in patients
with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
The show that after HD, EL and WSS of LV decrease during the systolic and diastolic phases. The VFM
can reflect the LV hemodynamics in patients undergoing HD under different fluid loads.
