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

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 …

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 …

The implications from these lessons are that pulse wave velocity is a robust, reproducible
measure of arterial stiffness which adds important information to standard clinical …

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 …

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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with excess cardiovascular mortality, resulting
from both traditional and nontraditional, CKD‐specific, cardiovascular risk factors …

Background Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a measure of arterial stiffness and has
proved useful in predicting cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in several populations of …

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 …
