Abstract
Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have an unparalleled risk of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and vascular calcification (VC), both of which introduce excessive cardiovascular risk. However, it remains unclear whether LVH geometry co-modulates cardiovascular outcomes with VC in this population.
