Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, you should not discontinue heart medicines.
Diabetic patient on dialysis (end stage kidney disease) is always at risk of heart diseases.
So you need too take heart medicines for prophylaxis to prevent heart diseases in future.
If you stop heart medicines, possibility of development of heart disease in future is high.
So don't stop heart medicines despite of normal ecg, 2d echo and other reports.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
