Aortic stiffness is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic
kidney disease. However, the rate of progression of arterial stiffness and the role of …

Patients with end-stage renal disease treated by chronic dialysis have an impressive
mortality, which more than half of this mortality is attributable to cardiovascular disease …

Prospective observational studies have shown that arterial stiffness is a strong and
independent predictor of cardiovascular disease in hemodialysis patients. Recent evidence …

Aortic stiffness and chronic kidney disease are closely linked by shared risk factors and
associated increased cardiovascular mortality. At lower levels of renal function, aortic …

The vascular hallmark of subjects with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis is
increased aortic stiffness, a phenomenon independent of mean arterial blood pressure, wall …

Arterial stiffness and intensity of wave reflections are considered the principal determinants
of systolic blood and pulse pressures, and their measurements are increasingly used to …

To compare the clinical features of aortic stiffness and its contributors between hemodialysis
(HD) patients with and those without diabetes, we performed a cross-sectional study of …

Evidence suggests that aortic stiffness may antedate and contribute initially to the
development of hypertension and cardiovascular risk (CVR). In treated hypertensive …

In previous studies, different parameters of arterial stiffness were related to cardiovascular
mortality in hemodialysis patients, but their relative prognostic value has not previously been …

Cardiovascular mortality is elevated in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD),
especially in those with diabetes mellitus. Although the higher cardiovascular death rate in …
