Events temporal to HD session
Of the 22 HD patients, 10 (45.5%) experienced any VA, with only 6
patients (27.3%) experiencing any event after their date of HD
initiation, for a total of 79 events. NSVT accounted for 77 events
(97.5%), 0 were VT (0%), and 2 were VF (2.5%). Six events (7.6%)
occurred during HD. For the remaining events, the average time from last
HD session was 43 hours, but with a high degree of variability (SD =
159.4 hr). Events were most likely to occur within 12 hours of HD end
(χ2 = 19.7, dF = 7, p = 0.006, Figure 3 ),
with the next most common intervals being 12-24 hours (22.8% of events)
and 36-48 hrs (20.2% of events), though these intervals did not reach
statistical significance (p = 0.09 and 0.19, respectively). One event
required ATP, while only two events required ICD shock.
