Background. Prior studies have demonstrated that conventional and emerging CV risk
factors are associated with worsening arterial stiffness among end‐stage renal disease …

The aorta is the principal capacitive element of the arterial tree and its increased stiffness,
determined by measurement of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a strong independent …

Aortic p ulse w ave v elocity (a PWV) is elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease
(CKD) and predicts cardiovascular risk. However, the natural progression of arterial stiffness …

Epidemiological as well as clinical studies have shown that regardless of the severity of
renal impairment the cardiovascular mortality in renal disease patients is very high …

We recognize that increased systolic pressure is the most challenging form of hypertension
today and that pulse pressure as an independent cardiovascular risk factor has focused …

Aims/hypothesis Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a microvascular complication associated
with poor control of blood glucose and BP. We aimed to evaluate the predictors of …

Aortic compliance is decreased in patients with end-stage renal disease. This malfunction
contributes to high aortic systolic pressures and thus to the development of left ventricular …

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

Whether arterial stiffness correlates with mild-to-moderate CKD and albuminuria in the
community is unclear. We studied the association between arterial stiffness and mild-to …

Inflammation, arteriosclerosis, and cardiovascular therapy in hemodialysis patients.
Background Aortic stiffness and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are predictors of mortality …
