HOLT-ED: Holter-monitoring in End-stage Renal Disease

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1. 1This study used Holter monitoring to track heart rhythms in people with end-stage renal disease — could wearing a Holter monitor help my doctor better understand my personal risk of sudden cardiac death or dangerous arrhythmias?
2. 2Since this trial has already completed and was tracking outcomes like sudden cardiac death, cardiovascular death, and heart attacks, has my doctor seen any published findings from it that might be relevant to managing my own heart and kidney health?
3. 3The trial focused specifically on people with chronic kidney failure — given my kidney condition, does my doctor think I should be having more routine heart rhythm monitoring as part of my care, based on what studies like this are finding?
4. 4Sudden cardiac death is listed as a key outcome this study was measuring in dialysis or end-stage renal disease patients — how does my doctor currently assess and monitor my personal risk for that, and are there steps we could take to reduce it?
5. 5Are there other ongoing or completed studies similar to HOLT-ED that my doctor could point me to, or are there standard-of-care monitoring approaches that have come out of this kind of research that might apply to my situation?
