Purpose : The objectives of this study were to estimate myocardial functions in patients with
chronic renal failure by pulsed Doppler echocardiography, and investigate correlation between
Doppler and disease parameters.
Methods : We studied 13 patients with chronic renal failure whose creatinine clearance rate
less than 25ml/min. Using pulsed Doppler echocardiography with curve following method, we
measured peak velocity, mean velocity, velocity-time integral and peak... |
