Abstract

Haemodialysis results in a left ventricular hypertrophic response. It is unclear whether tight blood pressure control or particular medications might attenuate this response. We sought to determine, in a pre-dialysis cohort on atenolol, whether Losartan might attenuate left ventricular hypertrophy post arteriovenous fistula creation in end stage kidney disease.
