    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Nephrology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • End-stage renal disease (ESRD) can lead to complex cardiovascular complications.
    • Myocardiopathy in ESRD patients presents a significant clinical challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation and outcomes of myocardiopathy in patients with ESRD.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of renal replacement therapies in managing cardiac dysfunction in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series reporting on seven patients with ESRD and myocardiopathy.
    • Clinical observation of symptoms including fever, tachycardia, gallop rhythm, pericardial rub, and cardiac failure.
    • Electrocardiogram (EKG) and cardiac area assessments were performed.

    Main Results:

    • All seven patients exhibited signs of cardiac failure, increased cardiac area, and EKG alterations.
    • Four patients presented with fever; tachycardia, gallop rhythm, and pericardial rub were common.
    • Two patients achieved symptom remission with hemodialysis; the remaining five improved after renal transplantation.

    Conclusions:

    • Myocardiopathy is a serious condition in ESRD patients, presenting with diverse cardiac symptoms.
    • Hemodialysis and renal transplantation are effective treatments for improving cardiac function and symptoms in ESRD-related myocardiopathy.
