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

Damage to large arteries is a major contributory factor to the high cardiovascular morbidity
and mortality of patients with end-stage renal disease. Among the methods for assessment …

Background Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality among peritoneal
dialysis (PD) patients in Macao. Increased arterial stiffness determined by pulse wave …

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 …

Aims: To evaluate the value of pulse wave velocity (PWV) to predict cardio-cerebrovascular
(CVD) and death in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods: In all, 59 maintenance PD …

Background: Overall, the proportion of deaths due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) reached
40–50% in dialysis patients. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) reflects arterial stiffness and may …

Background: Hypoalbuminemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular events and mortality in
dialysis patients, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Meanwhile, increased …

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: A high peritoneal transport status in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
(CAPD) patients is associated with a markedly increased morbidity and mortality. While the …
