Early Outgrowth Pro-Angiogenic Cell Number and Function Do Not Correlate with Left Ventricular Structure and Function in Conventional Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is commonly found in chronic dialysis (CD) recipients, and is associated with impaired microvascular cardiac perfusion and heart failure. In response to LVH and cardiac ischemia, early outgrowth pro-angiogenic cellS(EPCs) mobilize from the bone marrow t...
