Increased arterial stiffness in hemodialysis patients is a strong predictor of cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (A Ix), which are …

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) accelerates vascular stiffening related to age.
Arterial stiffness may be evaluated measuring the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) …

Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have a 3–30-fold increased risk of
death compared with the general population. This mortality difference is even more …

Background Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality among peritoneal
dialysis (PD) patients in Macao. Increased arterial stiffness determined by pulse wave …

Background: Measuring arterial stiffness (augmentation index (AI), aortic pulse wave velocity
(PWV)) in hemodialysis (HD) patients has prognostic significance. To assess its validity, the …

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 …

We recognize that increased systolic pressure is the most challenging form of hypertension
today and that pulse pressure as an independent cardiovascular risk factor has focused …

This narrative review summarizes a decade of experience examining the cross-sectional
and longitudinal relationships of arterial stiffness, as assessed using carotid-femoral pulse …

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a main parameter for arterial stiffness. In patients with end-
stage renal disease (ESRD), PWV is known to be associated with increased mortality. But …

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 …
