The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has increased by 30-40% in the last decade. These patients have a higher mortality rate of 3-8 times compared to the general population. In the present study, we aimed to detect cardiovascular complications and their relation to the first-year mortality rate in patients on hemodialysis in Aswan University Hospital, upper Egypt.
