Background The aim of this study was to investigate the cardiovascular mortality in chronic
hemodialysis patients (CHPs) and to discover the importance of carotid and femoral artery …

Background To evaluate the predictive value of carotid atherosclerotic disease (CAD) and
intima-media thickness (IMT) on incident cardiovascular disease and mortality in …

BACKGROUND: Cardiac and vascular mortality are common in end-stage renal disease
(ERSD) and are often attributed to accelerated atherosclerosis. SUBJECTS AND …

Background The prognosis of patients on hemodialysis (HD) was determined with respect to
cardiovascular disease. We analyzed the relationships between several parameters of …

Atherosclerotic vascular diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality for end-stage
renal disease patients. We followed prospectively 226 hemodialysis patients by carotid …

Background Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality in dialysis patients.
Carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) is used as a surrogate marker of early …

Introduction Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and carotid plaques (CP) were shown to
be independent predictors of mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. In this …

Objective High-resolution B-mode ultrasonography has been widely used for the
noninvasive assessment of atherosclerosis in hemodialysis patients. But, there are two …

Background. High cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients appears
only partly attributable to atherosclerosis, with much of the remaining risk being ascribed to …

Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of cardiovascular morbidity in end-stage renal
disease (ESRD) patients and carotid intima–media thickness (IMT) is an early independent …
