ABSTRACT
Despite significant improvements in technology of dialysis delivery, cardiovascular disease remains the mayor cause of death in dialysis patients. Individuals with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD( present an high incidence of coronary artery disease, arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD).
