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: Factors associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) contribute to an
increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. The impact of vascular disease on CKD …

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 …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with excess cardiovascular mortality, resulting
from both traditional and nontraditional, CKD‐specific, cardiovascular risk factors …

Arterial stiffness in predialysis patients with uremia. Background Hemodialysis patients have
advanced arterial wall stiffening as shown by increased aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), an …

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

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 …

Results After a median (interquartile range) follow–up time of 11 (10.7–11.3) years, 601
participants with incident CKD were recognized. In the model adjusted for age, sex, mean …

Results Mean (SD) baseline estimated GFR cysC was 79±29 ml/min per 1.73 m 2. Median
follow-up duration was 8.9 years. In multivariable analyses, aPWV was not associated with …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. Arterial stiffness and remodeling have been well documented in …
