Background: Arterial stiffness (AS) is associated, and a predictor of, outcome in patients with
cardiovascular and renal disease. Aim: In this study, we estimated glomerular filtration rate …

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are
independently associated with increased vascular stiffness. We examined whether renal …

Background: Increased aortic stiffness markers-aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and
augmentation index (AIx)-are powerful predictors of survival in ESRD patients-well …

Objectives Despite growing evidence that arterial stiffness has important predictive value for
cardiovascular disease in patients with advanced stages of chronic kidney disease, the …

Background Arterial stiffness and mild-to-moderate renal dysfunction are predictors of
cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Recently, the ambulatory arterial stiffness index …

There is increased cardiovascular (CV) mortality in subjects with chronic kidney disease
(CKD). Arterial stiffness in these subjects is increased when compared to a healthy …

Background. The predictors of arterial stiffness across the spectrum of renal function are
unclear. These predictors were investigated across a wide range of estimated glomerular …

Aims: Arterial stiffness is known to be an important surrogate marker for atherosclerosis and
predictor of peripheral vascular and cardiovascular (CV) disease. Whether high cardio-ankle …

Increased arterial stiffness is a marker of vasculopathy in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
patients, suggesting a significant cardiovascular damage. Detection of arterial stiffness …

INTRODUCTION: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have increased risk of
cardiovascular disease to which co-morbidity and associated conventional risk factors …
