In previous studies, different parameters of arterial stiffness were related to cardiovascular
mortality in hemodialysis patients, but their relative prognostic value has not previously been …

Introduction: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with exponentially elevated
cardiovascular mortality. Arterial stiffness (AS)–usually expressed with pulse wave velocity …

Among hemodialysis (HD) patients, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is recognized as a major
contributor to the high risk of mortality, and emerging evidence has ascertained arterial …

Background. The predictors of arterial stiffness across the spectrum of renal function are
unclear. These predictors were investigated across a wide range of estimated glomerular …

Abstract Background/Aims: Arterial stiffening characterizes the vasculature of end-stage
renal disease (ESRD) patients and is a strong predictor of their cardiovascular morbidity and …

Background Pulse wave velocity is a marker of arterial stiffness. Unequal arterial stiffness
has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. This study calculated …

The increase of arterial stiffness has been to have a significant impact on predicting mortality
in end‐stage renal disease patients. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a noninvasive, reliable …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity
(baPWV) and the cardio–ankle vascular index (CAVI) as measures of arterial stiffness in …

Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease on maintenance dialysis therapy have a
high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD). A similar …

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 …
