Özet

Background Cardiac valve calcification is a frequent finding in chronic haemodialysis patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a significant predictor of cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. We evaluated the influence of aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) on the development of LVH in chronic haemodialysis patients.
