Aim Increased arterial stiffness is associated with progressive renal deterioration and poor
clinical outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Assessment of vascular …

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

Background: Arterial stiffness (AS) is associated, and a predictor of, outcome in patients with
cardiovascular and renal disease. Aim: In this study, we estimated glomerular filtration rate …

Background Global longitudinal strain (GLS) has emerged as a superior method for
detecting left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction compared to ejection fraction (EF) on the …

BACKGROUND Our aims were to assess whether arterial stiffness is associated with a
higher risk for kidney dysfunction among persons without chronic kidney disease (CKD) …

Background Previous studies on the direction of the association between arterial stiffness
(AS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) were inconsistent, leaving a knowledge gap in …

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 …

Background We tested the hypothesis that myocardial stiffness is altered in paediatric
patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and explored its association with clinical …

Arterial stiffness is an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in
patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Arterial stiffness aggravates cardiovascular …
