QRS-T Angle Predicts Cardiac Risk and Correlates With Global Longitudinal Strain in Prevalent Hemodialysis Patients

QRS-T Angle Predicts Cardiac Risk and Correlates With Global Longitudinal Strain in Prevalent Hemodialysis Patients

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the commonest cause of death in hemodialysis (HD) patients but accurate risk prediction is lacking. The spatial QRS – T angle is a promising electrophysiological marker for sudden cardiac death risk stratification. The aim of this study was to assess the prognos...
