Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in
hemodialysis (HD) patients. Determinants of arterial stiffness and its change during HD are …

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 …

Background. Patients with kidney disease suffer from high cardiovascular risk due to classic
and disease-specific risk factors. Arterial stiffness is a novel cardiovascular risk factor whose …

Aortic stiffness is a prognostic parameter associated with patient mortality. Vascular access
creation has been shown to have effects on arterial stiffness both in the aorta and in the …

Background: Arterial stiffness is a strong predictor of mortality in hemodialysis patients. In
this study, we aimed to investigate possible relations of arterial stiffness with volume status …

Background Vascular calcification is one of the risk factors for arterial stiffness in patients
with chronic kidney disease. We hypothesized that a mismatch between elastic and …

The incremental elastic modulus of the common carotid and radial arteries is increased in
patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), independently of blood pressure, wall stress …

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

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 …
