Intracardiac calcification in patients under chronic haemodialysis
Abstract
Echocardiographic examination revealed intracardiac calcification in 20 out of 70 chronically dialysed patients. The process appeared more frequently in those suffering from severe renal osteodystrophy. It was often associated with rhythm disorder. Parathyroid hyperfunction is rated as one cause of intracardiac calcification.
