Introduction Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality are greatly enhanced in patients
with chronic kidney disease, partly due to increased arterial stiffness. Material and method …

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 …

Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality among the
patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Arterial stiffness is a well-accepted predictor …

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 …

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 …

Background The change of aortic stiffness, but not the particular baseline value, plays a
crucial role in estimating the patient risk with end-stage renal disease. Therefore, we aimed …

Background: Cardiovascular mortality is high in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Arterial
stiffness and global longitudinal strain (GLS) are important non-atheromatous …

Background Both arterial stiffness and systolic blood pressure (BP) are established
cardiovascular risk factors, yet little is known about their interrelationship in chronic kidney …

Increased aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of death from cardiovascular disease
in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Various factors that contribute to carotid …

OBJECTIVE: Both arterial thickness and stiffness are predictors of cardiovascular disease
(CVD). Although these arterial changes develop in parallel, no study has ever tested a …
