Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify using implantable loop recorder (ILR) monitoring the mechanisms leading to sudden death (SD) in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). SD accounts for 11% to 25% of death in HD patients. Continuous rhythm monitoring was performed using the remote monitoring capability of the ILR device in patients undergoing HD at 8 centers. Clinical, biological, and technical HD parameters were recorded and analyzed. Seventy-one patients (mean age 65 ± 9 years, 73% men) were included. Left ventricular ejection fraction was <50% in 16%. Twelve patients (17%) had histories of atrial fibrillation or flutter at inclusion. During a mean follow-up period of 21.3 ± 6.9 months, 16 patients died (14% patient-years), 7 (44%) of cardiovascular causes. Four SDs occurred, with progressive bradycardia followed by asystole. The incidence of patients presenting with significant conduction disorder and with ventricular arrhythmia was 14% and 9% patient-years, respectively. In multivariate survival frailty analyses, a higher risk for conduction disorder was associated with plasma potassium >5.0 mmol/l, bicarbonate <22 mmol/l, hemoglobin >11.5 g/dl, pre-HD systolic blood pressure >140 mm Hg, the longer interdialytic period, history of coronary artery disease, previous other arrhythmias, and diabetes mellitus. A higher risk for ventricular arrhythmia was associated with potassium <4.0 mmol/l, no antiarrhythmic drugs, and previous other arrhythmias. With ILR monitoring, de novo atrial fibrillation or flutter was diagnosed in 14 patients (20%). ILR may be considered in HD patients prone to significant conduction disorders, ventricular arrhythmia, or atrial fibrillation or flutter to allow early identification and initiation of adequate treatment. Therapeutic strategies reducing serum potassium variability could decrease the rate of SD in these patients. (Implantable Loop Recorder in Hemodialysis Patients [RYTHMODIAL]; NCT01252823).

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 33. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 November 2019.
All research outputs
#1,219,550
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology
#237
of 1,554 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#24,654
of 328,531 outputs
Outputs of similar age from JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology
#8
of 60 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,554 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 20.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,531 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 60 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
