The main objective of this study is to determine the significant cardiac events and risk factors in patients undergoing routine hemodialysis in Somalia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We carried out a cross-sectional retrospective study in a single dialysis center in Somalia. Two hundred out of 224 were included. All of them had ESRD and were on hemodialysis during the study period between May and October 2021. The records of all patients were reviewed, and the following parameters were analyzed socio-demographic factors, risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and the presence of cardiovascular diseases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean age was 54 \u00b1 17.5 years (range 18\u201388 years), and 106 (53%) patients were males. The prevalence of a cardiovascular disease among hemodialysis patients was 29.5%. Moreover, the distribution of cardiovascular diseases was different; heart failure was the most common, about 27.1%, followed by coronary artery disease (17%), pericarditis and pericardial-effusion (13.6%), dysrhythmia (10.2%), cerebrovascular-accident (8.5%), and peripheral vascular disease (3.4%). About 176 (88%) participants had at least one modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. The most common modifiable cardiovascular risk factor was hypertension (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 45, 25.1%), followed by anemia (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 28, 15.6%) and diabetes (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 26, 14.5%). Younger (18\u201330) participants were six times less likely to have cardiovascular events among hemodialysis than older age 0.4 (0.11\u20131.12).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Low prevalence rate of cardiovascular complications was confirmed in ESRD patients receiving hemodialysis in the main HD center in Somalia.
