Increased aortic pulse wave velocity (AoPWV) has been identified as a risk factor for
cardiovascular morbidity in the general population and in patients on dialysis. Most of the …

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of mortality in chronic
peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Increased arterial stiffness may be related to a high …

Structural and functional changes in large arteries are linked to an increased risk for
cardiovascular disease (1), the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in dialysis …

While cardiovascular disease accounts for 40–50% of the mortality in dialysis patients, and
while a high peritoneal transport in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is an …

Elevated pulse wave velocity (PWV) reflects increased arterial stiffness. Several studies
have investigated PWV in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, but direct comparisons with …

Objectives In this study our aim was to evaluate the relationship between degree of fluid
status and arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) in peritoneal dialysis …

Background: Arterial stiffness as determined by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)
has been demonstrated to predict cardiovascular events or mortality in patients with end …
