Background: The presence of acute renal injury has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (sudden death and arrhythmias).
Objective: To know the frequency of heart rhythm disorders documented by Holter in patients in need of intermittent hemodialysis due to acute renal injury.
Material and methods: A prospective observational study was conducted including patients with a diagnosis of acute renal injury who received intermittent hemodialysis; demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected from 28 patients. Monitoring was carried out through Holter before, during and after the hemodialysis session. Nonparametric statistics were used, with a significant value of p < 0.05. Risks were established with logistic regression.
Results: There was a significant difference in supraventricular extra systoles (82.1% vs. 57.1%), ventricular extra systoles (26.7% vs. 3.6%), and supraventricular tachycardia (6.7% vs. 3.6%). The rest of the rhythm alterations without significance.
Conclusions: Intermittent hemodialysis is a factor associated with the appearance of heart rhythm disorders. The death of patients with acute renal injury and substitution was related to ventricular extra systole detected by transhemodialysis Holter.
