The increase of arterial stiffness has been to have a significant impact on predicting mortality
in end‐stage renal disease patients. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a noninvasive, reliable …

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 …

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

Abstract Background/Aims: Arterial stiffening characterizes the vasculature of end-stage
renal disease (ESRD) patients and is a strong predictor of their cardiovascular morbidity and …

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality in patients with end-stage renal
disease, with damage to arteries as a major contributing factor. Arterial stiffness is a factor …

Background: Arterial stiffness as determined by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)
has been demonstrated to predict cardiovascular events or mortality in patients with end …

Epidemiological studies have highlighted the role of arterial stiffness as a risk factor for
development of cardiovascular (CV) diseases. Moreover, aortic stiffness has been shown to …

IntroductIon Dialysis patients have increased arterial stiffness. The results of the available
studies comparing arterial stiffness between patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and those …

Aim: There is limited information about arterial stiffness in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) …

Vascular research in end-stage renal diseases is an interesting field in which the
characterization of arterial stiffness proved to be valuable to predict morbidity and mortality …
