Background: Augmentation index (AIx) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) are early markers of
atherosclerotic vascular changes and also have been shown to be predictive of …

Background: In this study, we focused on whether volume overload plays a role in the
development of arterial stiffness. Methods: Seventy-three prevalent hemodialysis patients …

Aim: There is limited information about arterial stiffness in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) …

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 …

Introduction Arterial stiffness in the general population is an independent prognostic factor
for cardiovascular mortality, and can be measured noninvasively by pulse wave velocity …

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

Objectives: Hemodialysis patients have premature arterial stiffness, and the relationship
between pulse wave velocity (PWV) and blood pressure (BP) may be different than in other …

Increased arterial stiffness in hemodialysis patients is a strong predictor of cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (A Ix), which are …

Background: Increased aortic stiffness markers-aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and
augmentation index (AIx)-are powerful predictors of survival in ESRD patients-well …

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 …
