Exercise Preconditioning to Protect Against Dialysis-induced Cardiac Injury
Sponsor: London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's
Summary
The goal of this study is to determine what happens to the heart muscle contraction when people cycle before their hemodialysis treatment. Will pre-dialysis exercise protect the heart from a decrease in pumping of the heart muscle (called stunning) that can happen during hemodialysis. We will study whether pre-dialysis exercise decreases heart stunning, decreases the number and severity of symptoms commonly associated with hemodialysis, and other outcomes

Intradialytic Cycling
The impact of interdialytic exercise on cardio protection during HD has never been studied. This approach may enhance cardiovascular benefits and overall physical fitness, thereby contributing to better health outcomes in individuals undergoing HD.
