Left ventricular remodeling by cardiac magnetic resonance in children with advanced chronic kidney disease: an analysis of the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) study.
BACKGROUND Children with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and abnormal myocardial strain are prevalent in CKD patients and confer increased cardiovascular morbidity. While echocardiography is conventionally used to assess myocar...
