The influence of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the clinical pattern of patients with chronic renal insufficiency on hemodialysis remains unknown despite the cardiovascular pathology in these patients being well documented and being the primary cause of death in this patient population. The objective of this study was to compare the long-term outcome in those patients on our dialysis unit in sinus rhythm with those in AF.
