We recognize that increased systolic pressure is the most challenging form of hypertension
today and that pulse pressure as an independent cardiovascular risk factor has focused …

Insulin resistance (IR) is an early metabolic alteration in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
patients, being apparent when the glomerular filtration rate is still within the normal range …

Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity is an established method for characterizing aortic
stiffness, an individual predictor of cardiovascular mortality in adults. Normal pulse wave …

Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease on maintenance dialysis therapy have a
high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD). A similar …

Background Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a measure of arterial stiffness and has
proved useful in predicting cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in several populations of …

Chronic kidney disease, even at moderate stages, is characterized by a high incidence of
cardiovascular events. Subclinical damage to large arteries, such as increased arterial …

Background: Although left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a strong predictor of mortality in
patients with end-stage renal disease, few studies are available before the start of dialysis …

According to recent data, arterial stiffness is a major independent risk factor for
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in both the general and renal populations. Because of …

In children, cardiac abnormalities such as increased left ventricular mass (LVM) and
diastolic dysfunction develop at the time of mild to moderate chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) …

Whether arterial stiffness correlates with mild-to-moderate CKD and albuminuria in the
community is unclear. We studied the association between arterial stiffness and mild-to …
