Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in patients treated with hemodialysis. Hemodialysis leads to ischemia and myocardial stunning, and the consequence of that is the development of systolic heart failure and sudden cardiac death. Patients treated with hemodialysis are at high risk of myocardial ischemia due to reduced coronary flow reserve (left ventricular hypertrophy, coronary artery atherosclerosis, intramyocardial small vessel disease, myocardial interstitial fibrosis, peripheral artery disease). The most important risk factors for the development of cardiomyopathy associated with hemodialysis are an excessive ultrafiltration (> 10 ml/kg/h) and intradialytic hypotension. In circumstances of excessive ultrafiltration and/or hypotension, intradialytic ischemia and reperfusion occur. Repeated episodes of ischemia and reperfusion lead to the reshaping of the structure and function of the left ventricle, the development of systolic heart failure and sudden cardiac death. In patients with left ventricular regional wall motion abnormalities registered by ultrasound examination during hemodialysis and regional myocardial perfusion abnormalities assessed by positron emission tomography, the development of systolic heart failure can be observed after 12 months. Therapeutic procedures include: preservation of residual renal function, optimal control of cardiovascular risk factors, individualization of hemodialysis (optimal rate of ultrafiltration, prolonged hemodialysis, increased frequency of hemodialysis, a cold solution for hemodialysis, adjusting the concentration of sodium and calcium in solution for hemodialysis, use of vasopressors), hemodiafiltration and new modalities of dialysis (BFD - biofeedback dialysis). Myocardial ischemia during hemodialysis can be prevented, and this contributes to the reduction of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients treated with hemodialysis.
Key words: risk factors, cardiomyopathy, hemodialysis, ultrafiltration
