Abstract:
:The prevalence of arrhythmia has increased in hemodialysis (HD) patients and the most frequent is atrial fibrillation (AF). It was reported that the amount of epicardial fat tissue (EFT) in the population without renal disease is closely related to AF. In the present study of ours, the relation between EFT thickness and AF was examined in HD patients. A total of 79 patients who underwent HD for periods longer than 3 months were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 53.6 ± 15.2 years and 50.6% were male. The mean EFT thicknesses were measured as 7.2 ± 2.3 mm (3-12). A positive correlation was found between the EFT thickness and age, C-reactive protein, and left ventricle rear wall thickness. AF was found in 18 (22.8%) patients in the Holter ECG examination. When the group with AF was compared with the non-AF group; although the mean HD duration of the group with AF was longer, there were no significant differences in terms of epicardial adipose tissue thickness and other parameters. In the present study, no relations were found between EFT thickness and AF frequency in HD patients. Further studies with a larger number of the patient population are needed in this regard.
