Value of the electrocardiographic strain pattern in children and adolescents with end stage renal disease

Identification of ECG strain pattern is correlated with myocardial ischemia risk, so it could be helpful in risk stratification of children and adolescents with ESRD. Factors determining ECG strain are prolonged disease duration, increased LVM, higher TC, lower Hb and increased internal carotid velocity could become an important part of management of ESRD patients.
