- Abstract
Background. Left ventricular hypertrophy is common in renal transplant patients. One of the factors that might contribute to this phenomenon is the persisting presence of an arteriovenous (AV) fistula. Several reports have described the presence of high‐output cardiac failure, which subsided after closure of the AV fistula. However, the long‐term effects of elective closure of the AV fistula on left ventricular dimensions in stable renal transplant patients have never been prospectively studied.
