This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and prognostic impact of HF in a chronic HD population. Methods: A single-center observational study was conducted on 271 HD patients (January 2022\u2013September 2024). HF was defined and classified according to 2021 ESC criteria using echocardiography and NT-proBNP. Clinical, laboratory, and dialysis parameters were compared between HF and non-HF patients. Predictors of HF were assessed using multivariable logistic regression, and survival analyses were performed using Cox regression and Kaplan\u2013Meier curves. Results: HF was identified in 75% of patients: 45% had a preserved EF, 31% had a mildly reduced EF, and 24% had a reduced EF. HF patients were older, had higher NT-proBNP, lower EF, more atrial fibrillation, CAD, and increased interdialytic weight gain. In the multivariable analysis, a reduced EF (OR = 0.77, p = 0.001), older age (OR = 1.12, p = 0.001), and UF rate (OR = 1.31, p = 0.02) were found to independently predict HF. During the 34-month follow-up, HF was found to be associated with significantly higher all-cause and cardiac mortality and more frequent HF-related hospitalizations (log-rank p &lt; 0.001). In the multivariable Cox regression, two variables were found to independently predict all-cause death, NT-proBNP (per 1000 pg\/mL) (HR 1.030, p = 0.029) and a lower EF: (HR 0.97, p = 0.019). For cardiac death, a higher NT-proBNP (HR 1.038, p = 0.033) and a lower EF (HR 0.933, p = 0.001) together with a lower BMI (HR = 0.929, p = 0.028) persisted as independent predictors. Conclusions: HF is extremely common in HD patients and identifies a subgroup with distinct clinical characteristics and poor prognosis. NT-proBNP and left ventricular ejection fraction are key independent predictors of mortality, underscoring the importance of early cardiac evaluation and integrated volume and dialysis management to improve outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14238556","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]],"date-time":"2025-12-08T16:20:29Z","timestamp":1765210829000},"page":"8556","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Burden of Heart Failure in End-Stage Renal Disease: Insights from a Retrospective Cohort of Hemodialysis Patients"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0879-1903","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioana Adela","family":"Ratiu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Disciplines, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, 1st December Square 10, 410073 Oradea, Romania"},{"name":"Nephrology Department, Bihor County Clinical Emergency Hospital, 12 Corneliu Coposu Street, 410469 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victor Vlad","family":"Babes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Disciplines, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, 1st December Square 10, 410073 Oradea, Romania"},{"name":"Cardiology Department, Bihor County Clinical Emergency Hospital, 65 Gheorghe Doja Street, 410169 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ozana","family":"Hocopan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology Department, Bihor County Clinical Emergency Hospital, 12 Corneliu Coposu Street, 410469 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristian Adrian","family":"Ratiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Discipline of Oral Implantology, Dentistry Department, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, 1st December Square 10, 410073 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Camelia Anca","family":"Croitoru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Discipline of Oral Implantology, Dentistry Department, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, 1st December Square 10, 410073 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Corina","family":"Moisa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, 1st December Square 10, 410073 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-0375-6278","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioana Paula","family":"Blaj-Tunduc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, 1st December Square 10, 410073 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-8674-0839","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Marina","family":"Marian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Department, Bihor County Clinical Emergency Hospital, 65 Gheorghe Doja Street, 410169 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7514-172X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena Emilia","family":"Babe\u0219","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Disciplines, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, 1st December Square 10, 410073 Oradea, Romania"},{"name":"Cardiology Department, Bihor County Clinical Emergency Hospital, 65 Gheorghe Doja Street, 410169 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gfab252","article-title":"A Snapshot of European Registries on Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Not on Kidney Replacement Therapy","volume":"37","author":"Jager","year":"2021","journal-title":"Nephrol.
