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

Increased arterial stiffness is emerging as a useful marker of cardiovascular damage. A
growing body of evidence suggests that the stiffening of the conduit arteries is linearly …

The aorta is the principal capacitive element of the arterial tree and its increased stiffness,
determined by measurement of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a strong independent …

Arterial stiffness, as measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an independent predictor of
cardiovascular events and mortality. Arterial stiffness increases with age. However …

Background. Increased arterial stiffness (AS) is a major determinant of cardiovascular
complications in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Little is known about AS …

Background Measurements of aortic stiffness [aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and
augmentation index (AIx)] have been established as powerful predictors of survival on …

Background: The relationship between arterial stiffness and kidney function has not been
clearly demonstrated although observations of higher arterial stiffness in patients with …

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

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

Background: Digital volume pulse (DVP), a noninvasive method for indirect assessment of
arterial stiffness, was not tested previously in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) …
