Summary Heart failure is present in more than one-third of new hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and more than half of ESRD patients treated by chronic maintenance hemodialysis die of cardiovascular diseases including heart failure [1,2]. Although ESRD patients on hemodialysis might thus be included in an acute heart failure (AHF) population, this subgroup of patients has remained underappreciated, and the clinical profiles of AHF patients on hemodialysis remain largely undefined.
