Among them, patients who treated HICB column for more than 4 years were assigned to HICBs group. Patients who had never been treated with HICBs column were assigned to non-HICBs group.

| Hemodialysis patients who had been treated with HICB columns for more than 4 years are assigned to the HICBs group, while the other patients were assigned to the non-HICBs group. All patients taked two BMIPP SPECTs at intervals of more than 3 years. The images were divided into 17 segments for semiquantitative analysis according to the standard myocardial segmentation for tomographic heart imaging established by the American Heart Association. The amount of radioactivity taken up by each segment was visually graded and assigned an uptake score of either 0 (normal), 1 (mildly reduced), 2 (moderately reduced), 3 (severely reduced), or 4 (none). The BMIPP SPECT scores for 17 myocardial segments were designated as the BMIPP summed score (SS). We compared first and second BMIPP SPECT SS in HICBs group and non-HICBs group. | — |
