The Association of Calcium-Phosphorus Product With the Severity of Cardiac Valves Failure in Patients Under Chronic Hemodialysis.
Cardiology Research 2016 April
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have mainly focused on the roles of serum calcium and phosphorus product in the development of valvular heart failure. We determined the association of calcium-phosphorus product with the severity of heart valve failure in patients under chronic hemodialysis (being under hemodialysis for 6 months or more) in Boo-Ali Hospital in 2012 and 2013.
METHODS: It was a cross-sectional, descriptive, comparative study. Thirty-three patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis were recruited to the study. All the patients were hospitalized at Boo-Ali Hospital. The study was done in a 2 years long time frame and the association of calcium-phosphorus product and severity of heart valve failure was evaluated among them.
RESULTS: The results demonstrated that there was no significant association between age, gender, renal failure cause and hemodialysis duration (P > 0.05). Our results showed a negative correlation between the severity of cardiac valves failure and CA × P level. It was not a meaningful correlation though (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the obtained results, it is concluded that there is not any association between calcium-phosphorus product and the severity of heart valve failure in patients under chronic hemodialysis.
