Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality among the
patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Arterial stiffness is a well-accepted predictor …

PURPOSE: Successful kidney transplantation (KTx) can ameliorate bodily damage caused
by end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Arterial stiffness (AS) is one of the critical factors that …

Background Arterial stiffness is closely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in end
stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. However, the clinical significance of pre-transplant …

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

Background Chronic kidney disease is associated with a high cardiovascular risk.
Compared with glomerular filtration rate–matched CKD patients (CKDps), we previously …

Background Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a marker of arterial stiffness. It was shown that
PWV is related to increased cardiovascular risk in renal transplant recipients (RTR). Renal …

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

BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular
disease. Changes in stiffness parameters can predict the higher risk of the development of …

Background: Arterial stiffness and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are major independent
risk factors for cardiovascular disease in healthy and renal population. In this study, we …

Background Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
with dialysis, and kidney transplant (KT) recipients are associated with increased …
