Research summary
People on dialysis are more likely to develop an abnormal heart than the general population and we want to try and prevent and treat heart disease in our dialysis patients.
We are therefore planning new trials and want to include new devices to identify abnormal heart rhythms and measure physical activity levels.
We therefore want to recruit 100 dialysis people to wear heart monitors and wrist-worn physical activity devices for 2 weeks to test the acceptability of such devices and test if they provide useful information about the health of dialysis patients. This will help us design the proposed new trials.
