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 …

The ill effects of hypertension are usually attributed to a reduction in the caliber or the
number of arterioles, resulting in an increase in total peripheral resistance (TPR). This …

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 …

Hypertension is a cardiovascular risk factor whose adverse effects have been attributed to a
reduction in the calibre and/or number of small arteries and arterioles, resulting in increased …

Patients with end-stage renal disease treated by chronic dialysis have an impressive
mortality, which more than half of this mortality is attributable to cardiovascular disease …

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 …

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 …

Vascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world, and
vascular function is determined by structural and functional properties of the arterial vascular …

Arterial stiffness is an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in
patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Arterial stiffness aggravates cardiovascular …

Arterial stiffness and intensity of wave reflections are considered the principal determinants
of systolic blood and pulse pressures, and their measurements are increasingly used to …
