Echocardiographic Assessment of Structure and Function of Left Ventricle in Chronic Kidney Disease Along with its Determinants in a Tertiary Healthcare Center in Tribal Region of Jharkhand

Cardiovascular deaths in CKD are alarmingly high. Echo is an effective way to identify changes in the LV as the disease progresses. Diastolic dysfunction noted in CKD in its early stages can cause diastolic failure and tends to worsen with an increase in the left ventricular mass index. Attributable independent risk factors for the worsening of LV dysfunction are alcohol, albuminuria, and dyslipidemia in our study, with a significant association. The initial diagnosis of LVH, systolic and diastolic dysfunction, as well as albuminuria, and early intervention can prevent cardiac deaths in patients with CKD.
