Results After a stepwise multivariate analysis, the eGFR slope was positively associated
with baseline eGFR and negatively associated with hypertension and baPWV (β=− 0.165 …

Objective: In this study, we investigated the predictive capacity of the brachial-ankle aortic
pulse wave velocity (baPWV), a marker of arterial stiffness, for the decline in renal function …

Background: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and ankle-brachial blood pressure index (ABPI) are
markers for atherosclerosis, and each predicts mortality in patients undergoing …

Background Although ankle‐brachial index (ABI) and brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity
(baPWV) are significant predictors of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), their …

Heart failure and increased arterial stiffness are associated with declining renal function.
Few studies have evaluated the association between left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) …

BACKGROUND: Ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) have
been widely recognized as a marker of systemic atherosclerosis. We examined whether …

The association between arterial stiffness and decline in kidney function in patients with mild
to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not well established. This study investigated …

Background: Identifying patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease is important in
managing patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: We evaluated a series of prognostic …

Brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and the cardio‐ankle vascular index (CAVI)
are both used to evaluate arterial stiffness. The aim of the present study is to determine …

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for future cardiovascular disease.
Although pulse wave velocity (PWV), which reflects arterial stiffness, was increased in …
