Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity in patients with end-stage renal failure.
Arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an independent risk factor for …

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 …

IntroductIon Dialysis patients have increased arterial stiffness. The results of the available
studies comparing arterial stiffness between patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and those …

Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is strongly associated with a higher risk of
cardiovascular disease (CV). An important nontraditional risk factor of cardiovascular …

The increase of arterial stiffness has been to have a significant impact on predicting mortality
in end‐stage renal disease patients. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a noninvasive, reliable …

Vascular research in end-stage renal diseases is an interesting field in which the
characterization of arterial stiffness proved to be valuable to predict morbidity and mortality …

Objective Arterial stiffness is one of the major complications in chronic kidney disease. In this
study, we investigated the association between glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and arterial …

Aim: There is limited information about arterial stiffness in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) …

Introduction: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with exponentially elevated
cardiovascular mortality. Arterial stiffness (AS)–usually expressed with pulse wave velocity …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In dialysis patients, the cardiovascular mortality is 10 to
20 times higher than that in the general population. The increased arterial stiffness in …
