The predictive value of vascular biomarkers such as pulse wave velocity (PWV), central
arterial pressure (CAP), and augmentation index (AIx), obtained through pulse wave …

Background The importance of measuring aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVao), aortic
augmentation index (Aix) and central systolic blood pressure (SBPao) has been shown …

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a known indicator of arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk.
We critically evaluated the evidence supporting the four main non-invasive devices …

To estimate the value of pulse wave velocity (PWV) in pediatric cardiovascular disease,
prospective studies are needed. Various instruments based on different measurement …

Aim In chronic kidney disease, IgA nephropathy, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
have prognostic significance as well. However, the relationship between diastolic …

In the present issue of Hypertension Research, Nürnberger et al. 1 interestingly describe an
important factor when arterial stiffness is clinically assessed: subject's body position …

Cardiovascular mortality is the leading cause of death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and
end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This can be explained in part by an increased and …

Introduction Peripheral and central blood pressures are parameters of arterial stiffness and
important cardiovascular risk markers. Today, there are non-invasive methods that measure …

Hypotension commonly occurs during hemodialysis (HD). Hypotension can result from an
absolute reduction in plasma volume following excessive ultrafiltration or from a reduction in …
