BACKGROUND/AIMS: Sudden K removal is thought to be implicated in ECG alterations observed during hemodialysis (HD). The effects of the K removal rate on ECG-derived parameters have been investigated. METHODS: Two different hemodiafiltration (HDF) schedules were used for 10 HD patients: the dialysate K concentration was kept constant in HDFst, while in HDFK it was decreased during the session in order to maintain a uniform plasma-dialysate K gradient. A 12-lead Holter monitor was used to acquire the ECG in the course of the treatments. Classical ECG parameters and overall indices for quantifying ventricular repolarization abnormalities were evaluated. RESULTS: Several ECG parameters were affected by both HD therapies (ST depression, QRS amplitude and QT dispersion), but only indices of the homogeneity of repolarization (PCA-T, E1-T) were significantly affected by the K removal rate. CONCLUSION: The present study confirms the large impact of HD therapy on ECG. The analysis of the spatial T wave complexity points out the intrinsic arrhythmogenic implications of the K removal rate.
