This study is designed to etablish the effects of spironolactone in comparison to placebo on the composite endpoint of nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI) and acute coronary syndrome, hospitalization for heart failure, nonfatal stroke or cardiovascular-induced death. The primary endpoint will be the time to onset of the first incident.
* During a run-in period : Spironolactone will be initially administered per os at a 25 mg dose per two days in practice after the session, three times per week * Patients will be randomized (spironolactone vs. placebo) and titrated over one month to a maximum single dose of 25 mg/d * However if kalemia is greater than or equal to 5.5 mmol / l twice on this run-in period or on the day of randomization, patient won't be randomized. * A pre-specified algorithm for the management of the risk of incident hyperkalemia will be followed, including dose adjustment, temporary cessation of study treatment, in addition to usual dietary measures and the use of chelating resins and low-potassium dialysis baths * Patients will be followed for a mean of 2 years.

After a month in run-in period under 25 mg per 2 days of spironolactone administered per os in practice after dialysis session three times a week, patients will be randomized to spironolactone. The dose should be increased to 25 mg once daily and could be adjusted in using an algorithm used in the EPHESUS and EMPHASIS-HF trials.

The time to onset of the first incident :non-fatal MI or acute coronary syndrome or hospitalization for heart failure or nonfatal stroke or cardiovascular (CV) death
Time frame: 25 months
Determine the effects of spironolactone compared to placebo on the composite winratio endpoint
Following a hierarchical strategy of statistical tests including the primary endpoint. Composite winratio endpoint of: all-cause mortality at 2 years according to the Finkelstein and Schoenfeld method.
Time frame: 24 months
Determine the effects of spironolactone compared to placebo on the composite winratio endpoint
Following a hierarchical strategy of statistical tests including the primary endpoint. Composite winratio endpoint of: time until a cardiovascular event (hospitalization for heart failure, or non-fatal myocardial infarction, or acute coronary syndrome or non-fatal stroke) at 2 years according to the Finkelstein and Schoenfeld method.
