Hemodialysis-Induced Ischemia: Theoretical or Patient-Related Outcomes?

October 26, 2024 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: Room 6C, Convention Center

Session Description

Half of all deaths in people receiving hemodialysis are due to cardiovascular causes. Repetitive episodes of cardiac stunning occur during hemodialysis treatments and are associated with adverse cardiac outcomes. This session incorporates recent and ongoing research to discuss current understanding of the pathophysiology of hemodialysis-induced cardiac stunning and risk factors for and potential negative clinical consequences of stunning. Evidence is presented for novel strategies to mitigate stunning in clinical care with a focus on the role of intradialytic exercise.

Learning Objective(s)

  • Summarize current understanding of the pathophysiology of hemodialysis-induced myocardial stunning
  • Examine the risk factors for and clinical consequences of hemodialysis-induced myocardial stunning
  • Identify established and novel strategies to mitigate hemodialysis-induced myocardial stunning
  • Analyze the evidence and rationale for exercise therapy during dialysis to decrease hemodialysis-induced myocardial stunning

Learning Pathway(s)

  • Dialysis
  • Hypertension and Cardiorenal Disorders
