The present study was conducted to determine the incidence, pattern and identify the factors predisposing to cardiac arrhythmias in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nMaterials and Methods<\/jats:title>\nForty-five patients were included in this prospective observational study conducted between June 2020 and November 2021. Patients \u2265 18 years of age on maintenance hemodialysis (three times\/week for at least three months), with no intercurrent illness, uremic symptoms, and not hospitalized in the previous 3 months were included. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were noted. Arrhythmias were recorded by attaching the Holter machine to all study patients undergoing hemodialysis. We estimated the incidence, identified the pattern of cardiac arrhythmias, and explored the factors predisposing to cardiac arrhythmias.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResults<\/jats:title>\nPremature atrial complexes (17.8%), premature ventricular complexes (31.1%), ventricular bigeminy (8.9%), trigeminy (8.9%), and ventricular couplets (22.2%) were observed. The patients with hyperparathyroidism, hyper\/hypomagnesemia, and poor blood pressure control had significantly higher percentages of total and ventricular arrhythmias. The patients with hypomagnesemia, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (<50%), poor blood pressure control, and receiving statins had significantly higher percentages of atrial arrhythmias. There was no statistically significant association between age, gender, diabetes mellitus, ischaemic heart disease, interdialytic weight gain, dialysis vintage, low hemoglobin, serum calcium levels, serum potassium levels, presence of left ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, and diastolic dysfunction with arrhythmias.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion<\/jats:title>\nA high incidence of cardiac arrhythmias was noted among patients on hemodialysis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/ijn_412_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,9]],"date-time":"2024-08-09T10:13:25Z","timestamp":1723198405000},"page":"397-401","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Frequency, Causes and Patterns of Asymptomatic Cardiac Arrhythmias in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Yamita","family":"Sakhare","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, P D Hinduja National Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Mahim, Mumbai, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alan","family":"Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, P D Hinduja National Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Mahim, Mumbai, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deepak","family":"Phalgune","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research, P D Hinduja National Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Mahim, Mumbai, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aditi","family":"Erande","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research, P D Hinduja National Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Mahim, Mumbai, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjay Madhav","family":"Mehendale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research, P D Hinduja National Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Mahim, Mumbai, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/ijn_412_23\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"363","DOI":"10.1016\/j.semnephrol.2005.05.003","article-title":"Sudden cardiac death and acute myocardial infarction in dialysis patients: Perspectives of a cardiologist","volume":"25","author":"Herzog","year":"2005","journal-title":"Semin Nephrol"},{"key":"10.25259\/ijn_412_23\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1473","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra000650","article-title":"Sudden death due to cardiac arrhythmias","volume":"345","author":"Huikuri","year":"2001","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"10.25259\/ijn_412_23\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"500","DOI":"10.1159\/000186365","article-title":"Incidence of cardiac arrhythmias in chronic renal failure, especially during hemodialysis","volume":"57","author":"Chhabra","year":"1991","journal-title":"Nephron"},{"key":"10.25259\/ijn_412_23\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.2215\/CJN.03170707","article-title":"Hemodialysis-induced cardiac dysfunction is associated with an acute reduction in global and segmental myocardial blood flow","volume":"3","author":"McIntyre","year":"2008","journal-title":"Clin J Am Soc Nephrol"},{"key":"10.25259\/ijn_412_23\/ref-5","first-page":"28","article-title":"Patterns of cardiac arrhythmia in haemodialysis patients","volume":"7","author":"Mahmood","year":"2016","journal-title":"AKMMC J"},{"key":"10.25259\/ijn_412_23\/ref-6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1038\/kisup.2012.64","article-title":"Chapter 1: Definition and classification of CKD","volume":"3","year":"2013","journal-title":"Kidney Int Suppl (2011)"},{"key":"10.25259\/ijn_412_23\/ref-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"A7","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ajkd.2021.01.002","article-title":"US renal data system 2020 annual data report: Epidemiology of kidney disease in the United States","volume":"77","author":"Johansen","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am J Kidney Dis"},{"key":"10.25259\/ijn_412_23\/ref-8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1143","DOI":"10.34067\/KID.0003982020","article-title":"Global dialysis perspective: India","volume":"1","author":"Bharati","year":"2020","journal-title":"Kidney 360."},{"key":"10.25259\/ijn_412_23\/ref-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"214","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ajkd.2019.06.012","article-title":"Arrhythmias in patients on maintenance dialysis: A cross-sectional study","volume":"75","author":"Rantanen","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am J Kidney Dis"},{"key":"10.25259\/ijn_412_23\/ref-10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"572","DOI":"10.1038\/ki.2011.223","article-title":"Cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease.
