Arterial stiffness, a leading marker of risk in hypertension, can be measured at material or
structural levels, with the latter combining effects of the geometry and composition of the …

Arterial stiffness has been recognized as a marker of cardiovascular disease and associated
with long-term worse clinical outcomes in several populations. Age, hypertension, smoking …

Background Whether the use of sevelamer rather than a calcium-containing phosphate
binder improves cardiovascular (CV) survival in patients receiving dialysis remains to be …

Background. Vascular calcification occurs in the majority of patients with chronic kidney
disease, but a subset of patients does not develop calcification despite exposure to a similar …

Arterial stiffness, estimated by pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an independent predictor of
cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. However, the clinical applicability of these …

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

Several studies showed a positive association between heart rate and pulse wave velocity,
a sensitive marker of arterial stiffness. However, no study involving a large population has …

In this article, we offer an artificial intelligence method to estimate the carotid-femoral Pulse
Wave Velocity (PWV) non-invasively from one uncalibrated carotid waveform measured by …

There is an intimate association between mineral and bone disorders in chronic kidney
disease (CKD) and the extensive burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in this population …

Introduction Calciprotein particles (CPPs) are potentially modifiable mediators of phosphate
toxicity in patients with kidney disease. We compared the effects of calcium carbonate (CC) …
