Introduction

In Burundi, there is a dearth of data on the cardiovascular profile of patients undertaking hemodialysis.

This study unpacked the cardiovascular profile and associated risk factors of patients enrolled in the hemodialysis program using a sample of hospitals in Bujumbura, Burundi.

Methods

We collected demographic, clinical, and laboratory data from 51 adults’ patients undergoing regular hemodialysis for chronic renal failure across four nephrology centers in Bujumbura using patients records and direct interviews. We performed descriptive analyses and implemented discrete models to understand factors associated with cardiovascular complications.

Results

The average age was 49.98±13.39 years, and male predominated (sex ratio: 2,64). In total, 68,63% of patients had cardiovascular complications namely left ventricular hypertrophy (43,14%), heart valve disease (19,61%), and pericarditis and systolic and diastolic dysfunction (17,65%). Arrythmia and conduction disturbances were founded in 47% of patients. The multivariate adjusted analysis revealed that cardiovascular complications were associated with diabetes (p = 0.041), hypertension (p = 0.035) and alcohol use (p=0.021).

Conclusions

Cardiovascular complications are highly prevalent in patients undergoing hemodialysis in Bujumbura and diabetes, hypertension, and alcohol use are key determinants of these complications
