Research project awarded to study intradialytic myocardial stunning in hemodialysis patients to reduce cardiovascular mortality, using echocardiography, autonomic testing, and PET imaging.
Description
This project aims to investigate the epidemiology and mechanisms of intradialytic myocardial stunning in hemodialysis patients, with the goal of reducing cardiovascular mortality in this high-risk population. The study involves intradialytic echocardiography, autonomic function testing, and PET imaging to understand the underlying physiology and identify potential therapeutic targets.
