Summary:This cross-sectional study was carried out at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), National Institute of Kidney Diseases & Urology (NIKDU) and Kidney Foundation from July 2005 to June 2007 to find the cardiovascular complications in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on maintenance haemodialysis. Patients of both sexes with age ranging from 18-59 years and getting at least 8 hours of haemodialysis per week for the last 3 months were enrolled in the study. A total of 126 such patients were included in the study. Among 126 patients 77(61.1%) developed some types of cardiovascular complications. In terms of type of complications 63.6% of the patients had LVH, 23.4% had ischemic heart disease (IHD) and 10.4% had congestive heart failure (CCF) and 2.6% cardiomyopathy. Over 96% patients were hypertensive, followed by 46.8% diabetics and 42.1% smokers. Presence of hypertension, diabetes, family history of diabetes and hypertension were observed to be significantly higher in patients who developed cardiovascular complications (p<0.05). It is deserved that cardiovascular complications (CVC) are very common in ESRD patients on maintenance haemodialysis (MHD). Poor control of blood pressure, low Haemoglobin level and poor glycaemic control are higher in ESRD patients on MHD and are possibly related to the development of cardiovascular complications.
