Text: There was no significant difference between the HDF and HD treatment groups in rate of change in LVM (HDF : change, -0. 9 g/yr [95 % confidence interval (95 % CI), -8. 9 to 7. 7 g] ; HD : change, 12. 5 g/yr [95 % CI, -3. 0 to 27. 5 g] ; P for difference = 0. 13), EF (HDF : change, -0. 3 % / yr [95 % CI, -2. 3 % to 1. 8 %] ; HD : change, -3. 4 % / yr [95 % CI, -5. 9 % to -0. 9 %] ; P = 0. 17), or PWV (HDF : change, -0. 0 m/s per year [95 % CI, -0. 4 to 0. 4 m/s) ; HD : change, 0. 0 m/s per year [95 % CI, -0. 3 to 0. 2 m/s] ; P = 0. 89).
