Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients may have higher aortic pulse wave
velocity (aPWV) than non-CKD patients of similar age but it is not known if increased aPWV …

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 …

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

Aortic p ulse w ave v elocity (a PWV) is elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease
(CKD) and predicts cardiovascular risk. However, the natural progression of arterial stiffness …

Background Patients with CKD may have higher aortic PWV (aPWV) and augmentation
index (AIx) but studies are limited by size and lack of control population and differences may …

Background: arterial stiffening is a marker of vascular ageing and an independent risk factor
for cardiovascular disease. A potential mechanism linking cardiovascular disease to chronic …

Patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKDs) are at risk for further loss of kidney function
and death, which occur despite reasonable blood pressure treatment. To determine whether …

Cardiovascular diseases affect kidney function. The aim of this study was to investigate the
possible associations between hemodynamic parameters and change in kidney function in …

Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have a 3–30-fold increased risk of
death compared with the general population. This mortality difference is even more …

Background Arterial stiffness (AS) is an established and potentially modifiable risk factor for
cardiovascular disease associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). There have been few …
