Background: We determined whether attainment of classical clinical performance measures
for hemodialysis care improves survival in hemodialysis patients with increased arterial …

Background There is a lack of information on stiffness parameter β, an index of arterial
stiffness, in hemodialysis (HD) patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate …

Background Pulse wave velocity is a marker of arterial stiffness. Unequal arterial stiffness
has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. This study calculated …

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 kidney disease suffer from high cardiovascular risk due to classic
and disease-specific risk factors. Arterial stiffness is a novel cardiovascular risk factor whose …

Background Our aim was to study the predictive power of integrated central blood pressure-
aortic stiffness (ICPS) risk categories on cardiovascular (CV) mortality in end-stage renal …

Background Cardiovascular (CV) disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in
patients with end-stage renal disease. In recent years, arterial stiffness has taken on great …

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 …
