Trial of Intradialytic Cycling(aerobic exercise) as Kidney Exercise Rehabilitation for Cardiac Stunning in Hemodialysis
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common, In Canada, approximately 4 million individuals have CKD, and 43,000 have progressed to kidney failure.
Most of the 6000 Canadians who develop kidney failure annually start in-center hemodialysis.
HD treatments are associated with poor quality of life and adverse outcomes.
The HD procedure itself causes repetitive episodes of transient heart muscle injury (called stunning) and is associated with worsening functional status, increased heart failure rates, and sudden cardiac deaths.
The study will assess if participation in a 12-week aerobic exercise program during hemodialysis(HD) decreases HD-induced heart muscle injury (cardiac stunning).
