A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial of Effect of Enhanced External Counter Pulsation to Arterial Stiffness in Chronic Hemodialysis Patient

Not Applicable
Conditions
Hemodialysis
Registration Number
NCT06608953
Lead Sponsor
Thana Thongsricome, MD
Brief Summary

The objectives of this study are;

* To study effect of Enhanced External Counter Pulsation on arterial stiffness, as measured by pulse wave velocity, compared to standard hemodialysis treatment.

* To study effect of Enhanced External Counter Pulsation on central aortic blood pressure compared to standard hemodialysis treatment.

* To study effect of Enhanced External Counter Pulsation on cardiac index decline during hemodialysis compared to standard hemodialysis treatment.

* To study effect of Enhanced External Counter Pulsation on intradialytic hypotension events compared to standard hemodialysis treatment.

* To study effect of Enhanced External Counter Pulsation on blood biomarkers for endothelial dysfunction and vascular inflammation compared to standard hemodialysis treatment.

* To identify any adverse events from utilizing Enhanced External Counter Pulsation, such as pain or uncomfortable feeling, or even uncontrol hypertension.
