Background: Cardiovascular morbidity is frequent in end stage renal disease (ERSD). Data on left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction in children with this condition are scarce. Our aim was to evaluate LV diastolic and global function in children with ESRD.
Methods: Eighteen children undergoing dialysis and 10 controls underwent an echocardiogram. LV diastolic function was assessed by mitral valve doppler inflow velocities (E and A), isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) and tissue doppler imaging (TDI) of the mitral valve annulus (Ems-septal and Eml-lateral). LV filling abnormality was evaluated by E/Ems and E/Eml ratios and LV mass (LVM) measured. LV global function was assessed by myocardial performance index (MPI). Results were expressed as mean ± SD and comparisons tested by paired t test.
Results: Twelve children were on chronic hemodialysis and 6 on peritoneal dialysis. There was no significant difference in age or gender between the ESRD group and controls. The ESRD group had significantly higher blood pressure (117.9±11.9 vs. 107±11.1 p=0.03 and LVM (143.96±52.6 vs. 96.4±34.3 p=0.02). IVRT and A were significantly impaired (A 60.8± 13.9 vs. 42.3±8.6, p=0.001 and IVRT 7.6±1.4 vs. 6.3±0.9, p=0.01); E/Ems and E/Esml were significantly higher (10.2±3.4 vs. 7.16±1.4 and 8.7±2.9 vs. 5.6±1.5 respectively) as was MPI (0.52±0.12 vs. 0.41±0.07, p=0.02) in the ESRD group.
Conclusion: Despite normal systolic function, children with ESRD have echocardiographic evidence of impairment in both global and diastolic LV function. Further study on the prognostic implications of these findings and the effects of early detection and management is needed
