Patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKDs) are at risk for further loss of kidney function
and death, which occur despite reasonable blood pressure treatment. To determine whether …

Results The mean follow-up period was 4.4±1.5 years. ABI< 0.9 and high brachial-ankle
pulse wave velocity were independently associated with an interleg difference in systolic BP …

Aims To examine whether brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), a possible early
marker of atherosclerotic vascular damage, is associated with albuminuria in patients with …

Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is a new measure of arterial stiffness. We examined
whether higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is associated with more advanced carotid …

Aim: Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is a major determinant of the prognosis in end-stage
renal diseases (ESRD). The purpose of this study was to examine whether factors …

Central pulse pressure (PP) can be noninvasively derived using the radial artery tonometric
methods. Knowledge of central pressure profiles has predicted cardiovascular morbidity and …

Arterial stiffness and augmentation of aortic blood pressure (BP) measured in office are
known cardiovascular risk factors in hemodialysis patients. This study examines the …

Prognostic role of ankle-brachial index (ABI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is
controversial. We aimed to evaluate whether abnormal ABI was an independent predictor of …

A reduction in ankle-brachial BP index (ABPI) is associated with generalized atherosclerotic
diseases and predicts cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in several patient populations …

Objectives: Pulse pressure (PP) is a predictor of ad-verse outcomes in patients on
haemodialysis and with predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the relationship …
