Long-term impacts of hemodialysis on the right ventricle: Assessment via 3-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography

Background Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a major cause of death in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). We used 3‐dimensional speckle‐tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) to evaluate long‐term impacts of MHD on RV function.
