Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are at higher risk for cardiac arrhythmias. The risk of arrhythmia may change with different treatment modalities. We proposed to compare the effects of varied therapy methods on myocardial repolarization parameters (Tp-e, QT, QTc intervals, Tp-e/QT, Tp-e/QTc ratios) and P-wave dispersion (PWD) in patients with CKD.
