Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Hemodialysis-Dependent End-Stage Renal Disease ― Prevalence, Characteristics, and Prognostic Implications ―
Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is an established mechanism in cardiovascular diseases and is associated with adverse outcomes. However, CMD in hemodialysis (HD) patients remains poorly characterized. This study evaluated the prevalence, physiological profiles, and prognostic implications of CMD in this high-risk population.
