[Prevalent Of Echocardiography Anomaly In Chronic Hemodialysis Patients At The Point G Hospital].

Résumé fourni par la source

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular abnormalities are frequent and often early, severe and masked in patients with renal impairment. These cardiovascular complications are the main causes of death in hemodialysis patients. The diagnosis of these cardiovascular anomalies by cardiac ultrasound allows the individualization of patients at high cardiovascular risk. We conducted this study to evaluate the echo-cardiographic aspects of chronic hemodialysis in the nephrology and hemodialysis department of the G-Point CHU. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of chronic renal failure patients who have undergone extra-renal treatment for 6 months or more from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012. Results: During this study, 83 files were retained The sex ratio was 1.51 in favor of men. The average age of patients was 48 years old. HTA (59%) and tobacco (43.3%) remain the dominant risk factors. Vascular nephropathy was the leading cause of CKD, 44.6%. Echo-cardiac abnormalities are dominated by cavitary dilatation (78.3%), LVH (41%), cardiac dysfunction (83.2%), valvular lesion (30.1%), and pericarditis (22,9%). The cardiovascular complications were LVH (41%), hypertension (25.3%) and dilated cardiomyopathy (9.7%). The evolution was favorable for 73.5% of the patients, the mortality represented 8.4% with various complication (18.1%).
