Estimated Enrollment: 30
Study Start Date: October 2005
Study Completion Date: August 2008
Detailed Description:

One-third to one-quarter of hemodialysis patients die of sudden cardiac death (SCD). The hemodialysis procedure may theoretically increase the risk of SCD. This study uses T wave alternans, a noninvasive marker of SCD, to objectively determine whether the hemodialysis procedure alters the risk of SCD in hemodialysis patients.
