Tavares Filho, Rabia Sarwar, MD3Surendra Gupta, MD, Tahir Hafeez MD, Shaul Lev, MD, Caroline Williams, RD, Conclusion: For the first time online examination of changes in cardiac function and peripheral resistance in relationship to volume removal […]
Hemodynamic response to fluid removal during hemodialysis: categorization of causes of intradialytic hypotension
Authors: Nathan W Levin , Marcia H F G de Abreu , Lucas E Borges , Helcio A Tavares Filho , Rabia Sarwar , Surendra Gupta , Tahir Hafeez , Shaul Lev , Caroline Williams Conclusion: Intradialytic noninvasive cardiac output measurement has enabled the assessment of changes in cardiac power and peripheral resistance. These have […]
A Novel Hypertension Management Algorithm Guided by Hemodynamic Data
Authors: Barbara Greco, Yossi Chait, Brian Nathanson, Michael J. Germain Conclusion: This pragmatic continuous quality improvement program reveals the feasibility and effectiveness of a hemodynamically directed management algorithm to individualize hypertension management in busy nephrology practice. This approach was associated with improved brachial and central BP control and normalization of cardiovascular hemodynamics in a cohort […]
Intradialytic exercise increases cardiac power index
Authors: Brent Momb, Samuel Arlington Headley, Tracey Matthews, Michael J. Germain In conclusion, exercise during dialysis may decrease the likelihood of experiencing ischemic or hypotensive events by enhancing myocardial perfusion through increasing CPI and ̇Q. For the full article click here
Comparison of stroke volume measurements during hemodialysis using bioimpedance cardiography and echocardiography
Authors: Michael J. Germain,Jyovani Joubert,Daniel O’Grady,Brian H. Nathanson,Yossi Chait,Nathan W. Levin NICaS SV measurements are similar to and strongly correlated with Echo SV measurements. This suggests that noninvasive NiCaS technology may be a practical method for measuring SV during HD. For the full article click here
