It has been hypothesized that this phenomenon does notderive from impaired clearance only but is associated with a subclinical cardiacpathology termed dialysis-induced myocardial stunning/myocardial strain [67].Interestingly, it was demonstrated in 1152 dialysis patients, that the routinemeasurement of pro-BNP and Troponin-T is strongly associated with the risk ofdeath and major cardiovascular events including CAD. Here, NPPB is linked to coronary artery disorder.
