Impact of Continuous Erythropoietin Receptor Activator on Selected Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Disease and Left Ventricle Structure and Function in Chronic Kidney Disease

Table 6

Correlation between serum Hb concentration and echocardiographic parameters of left ventricle structure and function in CKD patients.

Echocardiographic parameters	CKD patients before treatment	CKD patients after treatment
	Hb	Hb
	IVSd (mm)	−0.742	−0.425
LVM (g)	−0.953	−0.613
LVESd (mm)	−0.768	−0.543
LVEDd (mm)	−0.748	−0.350
LA (mm)	−0.774	−0.498
EF (%)	0.949	0.288

Spearman correlation coefficient values, .
Hb = hemoglobin, CKD = chronic kidney disease, IVSd = intraventricular septal diameter, LVM = left ventricular mass, LVESd = left ventricular end systolic diameter, LVEDd = left ventricular end diastolic diameter, LA = left atrial diameter, and EF = left ventricular ejection fraction.
