Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality is greatly enhanced in patients with chronic
kidney disease, compared to the non-renal population. One key element of this high CV …

Background: Factors associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) contribute to an
increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. The impact of vascular disease on CKD …

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those with end-stage renal disease
(ESRD), are at increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. The spectrum of arterial …

Background. Arterial stiffness assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV) predicts all‐cause
and cardiovascular mortality in diabetic patients with end‐stage renal disease. We studied …

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality in patients with end-stage renal
disease, with damage to arteries as a major contributing factor. Arterial stiffness is a factor …

Epidemiologic and clinical studies have shown that increased pulse pressure is an
independent cardiovascular risk factor in general population. Pulse pressure is determined …

Background Accelerated progression of aortic stiffness in patients with advanced chronic
kidney disease is not well explained by the traditional cardiovascular risk factors. We …

Arterial stiffness is recognized increasingly as an important component in the determination
of cardiovascular risk, particularly in chronic kidney disease and ESRD populations …

Background. Measures of aortic stiffness—aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and
augmentation index (AIx)—have been shown to be powerful predictors of survival in adult …

Aortic stiffening, assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, is associated with CKD.
Transmission of excessive flow pulsatility into the low-impedance renal microvasculature …
