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

Background: It is well known that both pressure and volume overloads contribute to left
ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular dilatation in patients with chronic kidney …

Background: Arterial stiffness influences the prognosis of patients with end-stage kidney
disease; however, the factors that promote arterial stiffness in chronic kidney disease (CKD) …

Prospective observational studies have shown that arterial stiffness is a strong and
independent predictor of cardiovascular disease in hemodialysis patients. Recent evidence …

Background: Vascular stiffness is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. This study
aimed to identify factors associated with vascular stiffness in a cohort of chronic kidney …

Chronic kidney disease is associated with elevated cardiovascular risk, and heart failure
and arrhythmias are the biggest causes of cardiovascular death in this population. Increased …

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 …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health concern. Despite many potentially life-
threatening conditions that can accompany kidney disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In dialysis patients, the cardiovascular mortality is 10 to
20 times higher than that in the general population. The increased arterial stiffness in …

There is increased cardiovascular (CV) mortality in subjects with chronic kidney disease
(CKD). Arterial stiffness in these subjects is increased when compared to a healthy …
