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 …

INTRODUCTION: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have increased risk of
cardiovascular disease to which co-morbidity and associated conventional risk factors …

Aim Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Although pulse wave velocity (PWV), which reflects arterial stiffness, was increased in …

Arterial stiffness is increasingly recognized as an important potentially modifiable measure
of subclinical vascular disease in people with CKD. The introduction of arterial stiffness into …

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 …

Arterial stiffness is an important pathophysiological factor linking cardiovascular disease and
kidney disease. Controversy exists as to whether arterial stiffness causes renal function …

In previous studies, different parameters of arterial stiffness were related to cardiovascular
mortality in hemodialysis patients, but their relative prognostic value has not previously been …

Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease on maintenance dialysis therapy have a
high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD). A similar …

Background. Arterial stiffness predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and has been
well documented in haemodialysis patients. Information in renal transplant recipients (RTR) …

Background Early chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased
cardiovascular (CV) risk but underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. Arterial stiffness (AS) …
