ABSTRACT
Most patients receiving renal replacement therapy have cardiovascular disease. The most frequent conditions are left ventricular hypertrophy and coronary artery disease. Hemodialysis is associated with a characteristic spectrum of acute complications (such as hypotension, sudden death) that can be explained by typical dialysis-induced effects on the heart. With continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) some of those cardiovascular complications are ameliorated due to slow ultra-filtration and absence of an arteriovenous fistula. It is concluded that CAPD might be the preferable option in patients with cardiovascular disease when hemodialysis can only be performed in a standardized and often aggressive manner. However, achievement of medically-defined goals appears to be more important than technique in dialysis therapy.
