Background Arterial stiffness is associated with elevated blood pressure (BP), but it is
unclear whether it also makes hypertension more resistant to treatment. Among …

Measurement of arterial stiffness is assuming an increasing role in the clinical assessment of
patients. Indeed, arterial stiffness and wave reflections are now well accepted as the most …

Background Increased arterial stiffness and vascular calcification have been recognized as
important predictors of cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease …

Background—Damage to large arteries is a major factor in the high cardiovascular morbidity
and mortality of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Increased arterial stiffness …

Results Contrary to the hypothesis, atenolol-based treatment induced greater reduction in
aortic pulse wave velocity relative to lisinopril (between drug difference, 14.8%; 95 …

Arterial stiffness is increasingly recognized as an important potentially modifiable measure
of subclinical vascular disease in people with CKD. The introduction of arterial stiffness into …

Arterial stiffness is typical feature of vascular remodeling in chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Increased arterial stiffness raises flow and pressure pulsatility and is considered the …

Background. Epidemiological studies have identified aortic stiffness as an independent
predictor of cardiovascular mortality in end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. In these …

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

Objective Arterial stiffness is one of the major complications in chronic kidney disease. In this
study, we investigated the association between glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and arterial …
