We recognize that increased systolic pressure is the most challenging form of hypertension
today and that pulse pressure as an independent cardiovascular risk factor has focused …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health concern due to the high prevalence
of associated cardiovascular (CV) disease. CV mortality is 10-30 times higher in end-stage …

Arterial stiffness is typical feature of vascular remodeling in chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Increased arterial stiffness raises flow and pressure pulsatility and is considered the …

Prospective observational studies have shown that arterial stiffness is a strong and
independent predictor of cardiovascular disease in hemodialysis patients. Recent evidence …

Chronic kidney disease is associated with elevated cardiovascular risk, and heart failure
and arrhythmias are the biggest causes of cardiovascular death in this population. Increased …

According to recent data, arterial stiffness is a major independent risk factor for
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in both the general and renal populations. Because of …

This narrative review summarizes a decade of experience examining the cross-sectional
and longitudinal relationships of arterial stiffness, as assessed using carotid-femoral pulse …

The implications from these lessons are that pulse wave velocity is a robust, reproducible
measure of arterial stiffness which adds important information to standard clinical …

BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness—typically assessed from non-invasive measurement of
pulse wave velocity along a straight portion of the vascular tree between the right common …

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality in patients with end-stage renal
disease, with damage to arteries as a major contributing factor. Arterial stiffness is a factor …
