Introduction: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with exponentially elevated
cardiovascular mortality. Arterial stiffness (AS)–usually expressed with pulse wave velocity …

Background Both arterial stiffness and systolic blood pressure (BP) are established
cardiovascular risk factors, yet little is known about their interrelationship in chronic kidney …

Introduction Arterial stiffness in the general population is an independent prognostic factor
for cardiovascular mortality, and can be measured noninvasively by pulse wave velocity …

Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease on maintenance dialysis therapy have a
high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD). A similar …

Abstract Background/Aims: Arterial stiffening characterizes the vasculature of end-stage
renal disease (ESRD) patients and is a strong predictor of their cardiovascular morbidity and …

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 …

The increase of arterial stiffness has been to have a significant impact on predicting mortality
in end‐stage renal disease patients. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a noninvasive, reliable …

Aim: There is limited information about arterial stiffness in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) …

Background: Arterial stiffness determined by brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)
has been established as a powerful predictor of cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis …

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 …
