This study is following people on dialysis to see if a heart health questionnaire—called the KCCQ—can help predict which patients are at risk for heart problems or other serious complications. Researchers will ask you to fill out the same questionnaire several times over one year and will track your health to see if changes in your answers match up with real heart events. This is not testing a new medication, but rather testing whether this questionnaire is useful for spotting which dialysis patients need extra heart monitoring.
Dialysis patients have a higher risk of heart disease and death, but doctors don't always know which patients will have problems and when. This study hopes to find out if the heart health questionnaire can be used like an early warning system to identify high-risk patients before serious heart events happen.

You will visit the clinic to fill out a heart health questionnaire at the start of the study and then at several follow-up visits over 12 months (at months 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 if newly starting dialysis, or at months 3, 6, 9, and 12 if already on dialysis). During each visit, researchers will ask you the same questions about your symptoms and how you're feeling, and they may do some basic health checks. Your regular dialysis treatment and other medical care will not change—this study is only observing and asking questions, not testing a new medication or treatment.
