Abstract
Myocardial disorders are a remarkable cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic haemodialysed patients (HD). They could be favoured by alteration of cell Ca(2+) handling. In previous studies we characterized an erythrocyte Ca(2+) influx, sensitive to membrane potential and inhibited by Ca(2+) antagonists. Since its maximal influx rate was decreased in HD patients, this study investigates if Ca(2+) influx alterations are related to myocardial disorders in HD patients.
