Measures of heart rate variability (HRV) as a predictor of risk of disease and mortality have
been investigated from various perspectives for more than six decades. The aim of the …

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of death in hemodialysis patients,
accounting for death in up to one-quarter of this population. Unlike in the general population …

Background. Heart rate variability (HRV), a noninvasive measure of autonomic dysfunction
and a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), has not been systematically studied in …

Background: The Equivital (EQ02) is a multi-parameter telemetric device offering both real-
time and/or retrospective, synchronized monitoring of ECG, HR, and HRV, respiration …

BACKGROUND: Noninvasive screening studies may identify hemodialysis (HD) patients at
increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Interventions that improve the findings of such …

Abstract Background/Aims: Low heart rate variability (HRV) is a risk factor for adverse
outcomes in the general population. We aimed to determine the factors associated with HRV …

Adequate sympathetic nervous system activation is essential for the compensatory
mechanisms of blood pressure maintenance during the hemodialysis (HD) procedure …

BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common medical condition that is
increasing in prevalence. Existing published evidence has revealed through regression …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), including end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is a public health
issue worldwide, and is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. In addition …

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) may modulate autonomic control of the heart
because omega-3 PUFA is abundant in the brain and other nervous tissue as well as in …
