The role of secondary hyperparathyroidism in left ventricular hypertrophy of patients under chronic hemodialysis

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients frequently develop structural cardiac abnormalities, particularly left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The mechanisms involved in these processes are not completely understood. In the present study, we evaluated a possible association between parathyroid hormon...
