Cardiovascular complications are frequent and related to left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and dysfunction in end-stage renal disease. To examine cardiac changes after renal transplantation, 24 hemodialysis patients (18 men and 6 women, age 47 +/- 12 years) were analyzed in a prospective follow-up study with echocardiography immediately before and 41 +/- 30 months after renal transplantation. Mean systolic blood pressure (hemodialysis vs transplantation: 156 +/- 35 vs 144 +/- 15 mm Hg; p = not significant [NS]), as averages of 6 measurements from 2 weeks, remained constant and elevated. The most frequent echocardiographic findings at both assessments were left atrial dilatation (75 vs 79%; p = NS) and LV hypertrophy (71 vs 67%; p = NS). After transplantation, an increase was found in mean left atrial diameter (41 +/- 5 to 44 +/- 5 mm; p
