The long-term consequences of cardiac alterations in children with chronic renal failure
(CRF) and after renal transplantation (TX) are largely unknown. Studies in adults with end …

Vascular calcification (VC), which is described in the elderly and in diabetics, is frequently
seen in uraemia. It is usually regarded as having little significance. We studied the …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) often leads to and accelerates the progression of
cardiovascular disease (CVD), while CVD also causes kidney dysfunction. This bidirectional …

Pulse pressure and risk of total mortality and cardiovascular events in patients on chronic
hemodialysis. Background Pulse pressure (PP) has been shown as a risk factor for mortality …

Analysis of the effect of hemodialysis on peripheral and central arterial pressure waveforms.
Background Arterial stiffening is very pronounced in renal patients. Carotid artery stiffening …

Objective Arterial distensibility is reduced in end-stage renal failure and also after renal
transplantation. The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that reduced carotid …

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 135 patients with CKD (mean age 52±11
years) included 58 pre-dialysis patients, 36 dialysis patients, and 41 renal transplant …

Cardiovascular complications are a well-known feature of chronic renal failure. Increased
wall thickness of intramyocardial arterioles and elastic (aorta) and peripheral (mesenteric) …

Studies on carotid artery atherosclerosis have been performed in order to understand the
high risk for cardiovascular disease in chronic renal failure (CRF). The purpose of this study …

Background. Calcification and dysfunction of aortic and mitral valves are frequently found in
chronic dialysis patients, but their influence on the development of left ventricular …
