Chong CK et al. - The occurrence of medication changes post echocardiography in dialysis patients is low and is not different than changes in routine care of dialysis patients without echocardiograms. Thus, serial screening echocardiography may not have added benefit to optimizing medical management of cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients. Further studies are warranted to demonstrate evidence for the use of serial screening echocardiography in this high-risk population.
