Increased aortic stiffness—measured as aortic augmentation index (AIx), a global stiffness
marker—has emerged as a powerful predictor of survival in hemodialysis (HD). A single HD …

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 …

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

Background. Adequate fluid management could be essential to minimize high arterial
stiffness observed in chronically hemodialyzed patients (CHP). Aim. To determine the …

Background Arterial stiffness is associated with elevated blood pressure (BP), but it is
unclear whether it also makes hypertension more resistant to treatment. Among …

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 …

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 …

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

Aortic stiffness is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic
kidney disease. However, the rate of progression of arterial stiffness and the role of …

Aortic compliance is decreased in patients with end-stage renal disease. This malfunction
contributes to high aortic systolic pressures and thus to the development of left ventricular …
