Fifty-two patients kept alive by chronic dialysis have been subjected to echocardiography carried out by means of a Picker Echoview equipment with M-mode 2D technique. The revealed alterations were suggestive of hypertropic, dilatative uraemic cardiomyopathy, associated with impaired diastolic compliance. Left auricular dilatation as a source of inference for the degree of compliance diminution was found in a high percentage of patients.
