20 years after the “Dallas” meeting the overall Annual Mortality rate of Dialysis patients in the USA has
declined by only about 15% and is still highest of all of
the Countries of the Developed World

LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS in CKD/ESRD
How should it be measured? What are its likely mechanisms? What are its consequences? Can it be reversed (or prevented) by
interventions? What are key management
principles? What are the gaps in knowledge
and directions for future research?

INCREASED LV MASS in ESRD:Echocardiography
(Mark P, et al NDT 22:1815, 2007)
M-Mode (1 D), 2 D and 3 D Echocardiography have been commonly used to Quantify LV Mass in ESRD
Volume changes occurring with dialysis can lead to errors in LV Mass estimation by M-Mode/2D Echocardiography (estimates are based on the cube of the LV internal diameter and LVID decreases after HD)
M-Mode and 2D, but not 3D, Echocardiograms overestimate LV Mass, due to asymmetric remodeling in 30% of patients

LV MASS in ESRD:Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(CMRI)
Cannot be performed with contrast (gadolinium) in ESRD
Requires at least a 1.5 Tesla magnet Gives LV Mass values about 65gm/m2
greater than M-mode Echocardiography
Pre-post dialysis differences in LV mass with CMRI are less than those found with M-mode Echocardiography (-10gm/m2 vs -26gm/m2)
3D Echocardiography and CMRI give equivalent results for LV Mass
![Page 14: LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS: Measurement, Significance and Management in CKD/ESRD Richard J. Glassock, MD, MACP Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA ESRD- State-of](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c40d87/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
LVH in CKD/ESRD:Measurement-Conclusions
EKG is an insensitive but specific method of diagnosis of increased LV Mass
Troponin-T, ANP and/or BNP levels have excellent positive predictive value for diagnosis of increased LV Mass in ESRD
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMRI) imaging is the “gold-standard” for measuring LV Mass in ESRD
M-Mode Echocardiography overestimates the presence of increased LV Mass (due to volume changes and geometry in ESRD)

LV Mass in CKD/ESRD:Epidemiology-Conclusions
LV Mass steadily increase as CKD progresses, but not inevitably
Increased LV Mass in incident ESRD patients is very common (70-90%), but will subsequently regress in only about 50% of patients with conventional HD or PD.
Non-regressors on HD/PD have a poor prognosis

Vitamin D and LVH in ESRD(Achinger SG and Ayus JC. KI 95:s37, 2005)
Vitamin D deficiency can activate the RAS and promotes secondary hyperparathyroidism– and thus promote LVH and elevated blood pressure.
Retrospective studies have shown regression of
LVH in Vitamin D treated ESRD patients
Experimentally, activated Vitamin D supplements (Paricalcitol) reduce LVH, possibly via an effect on intra-cardiac RAS
Vitamin D use may reduce CVD mortality in ESRD patients (observational data primarily)
No RCT in Humans showing a beneficial effect of Vitamin D supplementation on LVMI in ESRD has yet appeared
![Page 30: LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS: Measurement, Significance and Management in CKD/ESRD Richard J. Glassock, MD, MACP Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA ESRD- State-of](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c40d87/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Hyperphosphatemia and LVH in ESRD
(Achinger, Ayus, JASN 17:s255, 2006; Strozecki P, et al Ren Fail 23:125, 2001;Galetta F, et al J Intern Med 258:378, 2005)
Correlations between serum phosphorous levels and calcium x phosphorus product and LVH have been repeatedly noted
Causality is not proven (absence of RCT with LVMI as primary end-point)
Daily HD effectively reduces serum Phosphorus levels and also improves LVMI
![Page 31: LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS: Measurement, Significance and Management in CKD/ESRD Richard J. Glassock, MD, MACP Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA ESRD- State-of](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c40d87/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Parathyroid Hormone and LVH
PTH levels correlate directly with LVH in both primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism (inconsistently)
Parathyroidectomy can cause regression of LVH
PTH (1-34) can induce LVH (via MAPK/ERK activation)
![Page 32: LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS: Measurement, Significance and Management in CKD/ESRD Richard J. Glassock, MD, MACP Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA ESRD- State-of](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c40d87/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

RAAS and LVH in ESRD Angiotensin II directly induces
cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, independent of afterload
Local (intra-cardiac) Angiotensin II is generated by myocardial stretch--But hypertrophy still occurs in AT1b receptor KO mice
Aldosterone (?via TGFβ) may play an Angiotensin II independent role in myocardial fibrosis and LVH

LVH IN ESRD:Consequences-Conclusions
Sudden Cardiac Death is the principal consequence of increased LV Mass, most likely due to enhanced risk of fatal ventricular arrhythmias (electrical remodeling-arrythmogenic hypertrophy/fibrosis)
Systolic and/or Diastolic Dysfunction due to cardio-myocyte apoptosis, myosin isoform switch, energy dysmetabolism. Myofilament slippage and fibrosis also contribute to the risk of congestive heart failure (dilated cardiomyopathy)

LVH in ESRD:Effect of EPO therapy
Seven (7) RCT have been conducted that examine the effect of EPO therapy on LVH in CKD/ESRD
All but one have failed to show any beneficial effect on LVH of EPO therapy and correction of hemoglobin to normal or near normal levels
![Page 49: LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS: Measurement, Significance and Management in CKD/ESRD Richard J. Glassock, MD, MACP Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA ESRD- State-of](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c40d87/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
EPO Therapy in CKD/ESRD and LVMI:
A Meta-Analysis(Parfrey PS, et al CJASN 4:755-762, 2009)
15 unique, non-overlapping studies involving 1731 subjects (5 of which were RCT)
Effect of EPO on LVMI examined in those with severe anemia (Hemoglobin <10gm/dl) and those with more moderate anemia (Hemoglobin >10<12 gm/dL) at baseline and according to target Hemoglobin (lower=≤12gm/dl and higher= >12gms/dL)

LVH and ESRD:Dialysis mode and Prescription
Observational (cross-sectional) studies have shown a lower prevalence of LVH in PD compared to conventional HD patients (?effect of residual confounding; ?better BP/Volume control; ?AV fistula absence)
More Frequent/Longer HD sessions are strongly associated with a much lower prevalence of LVH (?better volume and PO4 control) compared to conventional HD

LVH in ESRD: “High Flux” vs “Low-Flux”
Hemodialysis
Neither the HEMO Study (NEJM, 2002) nor the MPO Study (JASN, 2009) study stratified for LVMI
We do not know if “High-flux” HD is better than or equivalent to “Low-flux” HD for LVMI.
If low serum albumin (<4.0gm/dL) is associated with an increase in LVMI, then it is possible that “High-flux” HD would be superior (MPO study)
![Page 58: LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS: Measurement, Significance and Management in CKD/ESRD Richard J. Glassock, MD, MACP Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA ESRD- State-of](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c40d87/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
LVH in ESRD:High-flux HD
(Kong CH, et al Bllod Purif 21:163, 2003)
In patients receiving high-flux HD failure to “regress” LVH is associated with:
> Higher inter-dialytic weight gain > persistence of systolic
hypertension > higher PTH levels
![Page 59: LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS: Measurement, Significance and Management in CKD/ESRD Richard J. Glassock, MD, MACP Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA ESRD- State-of](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c40d87/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
LVH in ESRD:Effect of Guideline Adherence
(Covic A, et al J Nephrol 19:783, 2006)
In a prospective (uncontrolled) observational study of 103 patients on HD before and after implementation of EBPG/KDOQI Guidelines—
> 38% had no regression or had further progression of elevated LVMI
> Regression of LVH correlated with improvement of Hgb, PO4 and Ca x Po4 levels (?causality)

LVH in CKD/ESRD:Key Management Principles- I
Rigorous control of volume overload (diuretics, NaCl restriction, control of inter-dialytic weight gain, ultra-filtration)
Meticulous control of 24 hour blood pressure (targets very uncertain-?120-130/70-80mmHg; ACEi/ARB-(tissue penetrating) preferred; ABPM?

LVH in CKD/ESRD:Key Management Principles- II
Replete Vitamin D Stores (ergocalciferol)
Maintain serum phosphorous at 3.5-5.0mg/dL (diet and PO4 binders)
Maintain iPTH levels <500pg/ml (dialysis)
![Page 63: LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS: Measurement, Significance and Management in CKD/ESRD Richard J. Glassock, MD, MACP Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA ESRD- State-of](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c40d87/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
LVH in CKD/ESRD:Key Management Principles- III
If feasible, use More Frequent Dialysis (nocturnal HD, daily HD)- Favor PD over HD as appropriate (?).
Avoid high-dose EPO- (Maintain HgB >10 gms/dL but <12gm/dL (?); maintain Fe stores
Monitor LVH (LVMI) post-dialysis every 18 months (by 2D ECHO, 3D ECHO or CMRI)

LVH in CKD/ESRD:Proposed Clinical Targets
Reduce prevalence of LVH (by CMRI or 3D ECHO) to <10-15%
Reduce Prevalence of Sudden Cardiac Death by >50%

LVH in ESRD:Knowledge Gaps/Future Research
Can LVH be prevented by aggressive multi-factorial therapy started early in the course of CKD?- need an RCT
Can progression of LVH to Dilated Cardiomyopathy be prevented by interruption of molecular mechanisms? (e.g. NIX-induced cardio-myocyte apoptosis; inhibition of fibrosis)
What is (are) the nature of the mTOR activator (s) in CKD/ESRD?
Can small molecule, non-toxic, cardio-selective mTOR inhibitors prevent/treat LVH in ESRD (independent of blood pressure)?
Can fatal cardiac arrhythmias (sudden cardiac death) in severe LVH be prevented?
Will MFD ameliorate LVMI increase and improve survival (decrease sudden death)- RCT-Frequent HD Network in Progress

LVH in ESRD: How Important is Inter-
dialytic Weight Gain?
How important is the Inter-dialytic interval?
![Page 68: LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS: Measurement, Significance and Management in CKD/ESRD Richard J. Glassock, MD, MACP Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA ESRD- State-of](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c40d87/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
LVH in CKD/ESRD:CONCLUSIONS
Current “conventional” HD (thrice- weekly, short-duration, long-inter-dialytic interval) regimens are insufficient to fully correct or substantially modify LVH in ESRD (despite “adequate” dialysis dosage)
Longer (slower) HD regimens with a shorter inter-dialytic intervals (MFD/NHHD) may improve LVH (and thereby reduce mortality due to sudden death)
Goals of CKD/ESRD therapy should include modification of LVH as a high priority (including non-afterload/preload related factors)
