[Effect of arteriovenous shunt and anastomosis on the central hemodynamics of patients kept on programmed hemodialysis].

Investigations of central hemodynamic indices made by the method of dye dilution in 30 patients kept on a programmed hemodialysis evidenced that the discharge of the blood through an arterio-venous shunt and fistula was one of the causes accounting for the development of the hyperkinetic circulatory syndrome, the fistula exercising a greater influence on the circulation than did the shunt.
