Is hypocalcemia related to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease?
Hypocalcemia is an independent predictive factor for LV diastolic dysfunction in patients with CKD.
Because INK4a/ARF promoter hypermethylation does not increase with age but increases with the frequency of other methylation events, we predict that INK4a/ARF promoter hypermethylation may serve as a marker of global methylation dysregulation.
