Twenty-five patients undergoing hemodialysis therapy with a normal blood pressure (16 men, 9 women, age = 54 +/- 14 years) and 25 sex and age-matched healthy normotensive subjects were examined by doppler-echocardiography. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the thoracic descending aorta, diameter of the ascending aorta (AD), left ventricular mass (m), thickness-radius ratio (th/r), shortening fraction (SF), end systolic pressure-diameter ratio (P/D) and the ratio of late and early mitral velocity (A/E) were obtained. Pulse wave velocity, SF, P/D, were not significantly different in the 2 groups whereas AD, m, th/r, and A/E were significantly larger in dialysis patients than in controls (both, p < 0.001). These results indicate that in patients treated by hemodialysis with a normal blood pressure, a concentric left ventricular hypertrophy is associated with a normal aortic stiffness, suggesting a depressed myocardial contractility.
