Introduction Increased carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) in end-stage renal
disease (ESRD) indicates enhanced aortic stiffness and mortality risk. We conducted a …

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

Increased aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of death from cardiovascular disease
in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Various factors that contribute to carotid …

Arterial stiffness is highly relevant to cardiovascular health. Arterial stiffness increases with
age and various disease states (1-4), including CKD (5, 6). Stiffening of the arterial wall …
