In-center nocturnal hemodialysis (INHD) is associated with favorable left ventricular (LV) remodeling. Although right ventricular (RV) structure and function carry prognostic significance, the impact of dialysis intensification on RV is unknown. Our objectives were to evaluate changes in RV mass index (MI), end-diastolic volume index (EDVI), end-systolic volume index (ESVI) and ejection fraction (EF) after conversion to INHD and their relationship with LV remodeling.
