Left ventricular dysfunction is a known risk factor for morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. The prognostic value of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) among those with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remains uncertain. Subjects with end-stage renal...
