Use of the Valsalva manoeuvre to identify haemodialysis patients at risk of congestive heart failure.
BACKGROUND In the presence of elevated cardiac filling pressures, the decline of blood pressure (BP) during the straining phase of a Valsalva manoeuvre is blunted or absent. We compared the use of non-invasively measured BP response to a Valsalva manoeuvre with clinical assessment and bioimpedance measurements to identify haemodialysis patients at risk of acute congestive heart failure (CHF). ...
متن کامل[Body composition in chronic kidney disease patients and haemodialysis].
BACKGROUND Nutritional alterations are highly prevalent among patients with chronic kidney diseases stage 5 who receive haemodialysis therapy. Body composition alterations are directly related to an increased morbidity and mortality. Nutritional assessment represents a cardinal intervention oriented to improve the outcome and survival in chronic renal patients. OBJECTIVE To evaluate body comp...
متن کاملAppropriate anthropometric indices to identify cardiometabolic risk in South Asians.
BACKGROUND South Asians show an elevated cardiometabolic risk compared to Caucasians. They are clinically metabolically obese but are considered normal weight based on current international cut-off levels of several anthropometric indices. This study has two main objectives: (i) to predict the most sensitive anthropometric measures for commonly studied cardiometabolic risk factors, and (ii) to ...
متن کاملBCM--body composition monitor: a new tool for the assessment of volume-dependent hypertension in patients on maintenance haemodialysis.
Hypertension is a common finding in end-stage renal disease patients with the prevalence between 20 to 85%. Although the etiology of arterial hypertension (AH) in this patient group is multifactorial, sodium and volume excess leading to extracellular volume overload are one of the most important and potentially adjustable causes. Control of volume status can either normalize the blood pressure ...
متن کاملAssessment of body composition of patients with COPD.
The intention of the study was to determine nutritional state and body cell mass in patients with COPD in comparison with healthy volunteers between 50 and 75 years of age. Therefore, body cell mass (BCM), phase angle and the relation between extra cellular mass and body cell mass ECM/BCM was measured with the help of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). While 10.4 % of COPD patients (male 5...
