Abstract
Objective It is known that patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) more frequently develop a wide range of left ventricular (LV) structural and functional abnormalities. The aim of our study is to evaluate the left ventricular regional function using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) in ESRD patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (PLVEF) undergoing haemodialysis treatment.
