Abstract
Cardiovascular catastrophes are the most common cause of death in dialyzed patients and account for 50% of all patient deaths. Although there has been no change in relative death rate from cardiovascular diseases in hemodialyzed patients, there has been an astounding absolute decrease, particularly early in the first-year mortality, from 50% to 14% over the last decade.(1,2) This has occurred in spite of the marked rise in the age of patients when accepted into dialysis in spite of the fact that more patients with serious systemic diseases are now treated.(2) Actually, recent papers question whether there is still an increased incidence of cardiovascular deaths.(3,4)
