Arterial stiffness, as measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an independent predictor of
cardiovascular events and mortality. Arterial stiffness increases with age. However …

Arterial stiffness is recognized increasingly as an important component in the determination
of cardiovascular risk, particularly in chronic kidney disease and ESRD populations …

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 …

Measurement of arterial stiffness is assuming an increasing role in the clinical assessment of
patients. Indeed, arterial stiffness and wave reflections are now well accepted as the most …

Background Early chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased
cardiovascular (CV) risk but underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. Arterial stiffness (AS) …

Arterial stiffness is increasingly recognized as an important potentially modifiable measure
of subclinical vascular disease in people with CKD. The introduction of arterial stiffness into …

The implications from these lessons are that pulse wave velocity is a robust, reproducible
measure of arterial stiffness which adds important information to standard clinical …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with excess cardiovascular mortality, resulting
from both traditional and nontraditional, CKD‐specific, cardiovascular risk factors …

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

Background: The relationship between arterial stiffness and kidney function has not been
clearly demonstrated although observations of higher arterial stiffness in patients with …
