Epidemiological studies have highlighted the role of arterial stiffness as a risk factor for
development of cardiovascular (CV) diseases. Moreover, aortic stiffness has been shown to …

Chronic kidney disease is associated with elevated cardiovascular risk, and heart failure
and arrhythmias are the biggest causes of cardiovascular death in this population. Increased …

Arterial stiffness in predialysis patients with uremia. Background Hemodialysis patients have
advanced arterial wall stiffening as shown by increased aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), an …

Arterial stiffness is an important pathophysiological factor linking cardiovascular disease and
kidney disease. Controversy exists as to whether arterial stiffness causes renal function …

Background Cardiovascular (CV) disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in
patients with end-stage renal disease. In recent years, arterial stiffness has taken on great …

Arterial stiffness is an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in
patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Arterial stiffness aggravates cardiovascular …

According to recent data, arterial stiffness is a major independent risk factor for
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in both the general and renal populations. Because of …

Background. An increase in aortic stiffness, as reflected by an increase in pulse wave
velocity (PWV), is an important predictor of cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients …
