OBJECTIVE: Vascular stiffness is prevalent in end stage renal disease patients and predicts
adverse events. This study describes the prevalence of vascular stiffness and its associated …

Abstract Background and Aims Intradialytic hypotension is a common complication in
haemodialysis. Vascular refilling occurs to preserve haemodynamic stability. Recent studies …

Adoption of high rate of ultrafiltration (UF) during hemodialysis (HD) may affect the
hemorhelogical blood profile, by changing Hematocrit (Hct) and the concentration of plasma …

Background: Cardiac death is increased in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Pulse wave
velocity (PWV) is a measurement of arterial stiffness, and previous reports linked PWV to …

Valuable information about cardiovascular system can be derived from the shape of aortic
pulse wave being the result of reciprocal interaction between heart and vasculature …

Hypertensive patients undergoing hemodialysis (HPH) have a marked impairment of their
large artery distensibility and an increased cardiovascular morbidity. We investigated twelve …

Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the acute effect of ultrafiltration on the mechanical
properties of the aorta using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) before and after …

Introduction: Arterial stiffness is an important contributor to the increased cardiovascular
burden of uremia. The aim of the study was to identify determinants of arterial stiffness …

BACKGROUND Increased aortic blood pressure (BP) and arterial stiffness are associated
with higher cardiovascular risk in hemodialysis. Previous works showed that lower dialysate …

Results Patients had a mean age of 63 years, and 61% were male. At baseline, median LVM
was 227 g (interquartile range [IQR], 183–279 g), and median EF was 65%(IQR, 55%–72%) …
