Background Cardiovascular events are seen more frequently after the age of 60 and they
are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Arterial stiffness is a property that can be …

There is increased cardiovascular (CV) mortality in subjects with chronic kidney disease
(CKD). Arterial stiffness in these subjects is increased when compared to a healthy …

Background. The predictors of arterial stiffness across the spectrum of renal function are
unclear. These predictors were investigated across a wide range of estimated glomerular …

Background: Arterial stiffness determined by brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)
has been established as a powerful predictor of cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis …

Introduction: It is widely known that dialysis patients have significantly impaired functional
outcomes and arterial stiffness, but still few studies have investigated the effects of dialysis …

Abstract Background/Aims: Possible predictive value of aortic-brachial arterial stiffness
mismatch assessed by pulse wave velocity PWV ratio in peritoneal dialysis patients' …

Purpose Arterial stiffness is one of the vascular pathologies in hemodialysis (HD) patients
with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Few approaches have been tested to …

Background Arterial stiffness is associated with elevated blood pressure (BP), but it is
unclear whether it also makes hypertension more resistant to treatment. Among …

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 …

Objective: Arterial stiffness (AS) is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular mortality in
general and haemodialysis (HD) population. Endemic (Balkan) nephropathy (EN) is a …
