Background. Measures of aortic stiffness—aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and
augmentation index (AIx)—have been shown to be powerful predictors of survival in adult …

Introduction Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was a marker of arterial stiffness,
and increased baPWV was associated with renal function progression in patients with …

Arterial hypertension is one of the traditional risk factors involved in the development of
cardiovascular events, while arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular …

Epidemiological as well as clinical studies have shown that regardless of the severity of
renal impairment the cardiovascular mortality in renal disease patients is very high …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem. Cardiovascular disease
(CVD) is a common comorbidity and a major cause of mortality in CKD population. While …

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) …

Abstract Changes in arterial structure and function are seen early in the course of chronic
kidney disease (CKD) and have been causally associated with cardiovascular (CV) …

Arterial stiffness is recognized increasingly as an important component in the determination
of cardiovascular risk, particularly in chronic kidney disease and ESRD populations …

In patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension, cardiac output remains within normal
ranges and intravascular volume is normal or low, assuming the presence of a sufficient …

Methods This multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in 4 HD centers in Bangkok,
Thailand. cfPWV and peripheral blood pressure were assessed using the SphygmoCor …
