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 …

Background. The rate of decline in kidney function is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular
risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Serum phosphate and increased arterial …

Background: Mortality in hemodialysis patients still remains unacceptably high. Enhanced
arterial stiffness is a known cardiovascular risk factor, and pulse wave velocity (PWV) has …

BACKGROUND Higher levels of baseline pulse wave velocity (PWV) have been associated
with longitudinal decline in renal function in patients with kidney disease. We examined …

Background The clinical implications of ankle‐brachial index (ABI) cutpoints are not well
defined in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) despite increased prevalence of high …

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by aortic stiffness and
increased cardiovascular mortality. In end-stage renal disease, aortic stiffness predicts …

Rationale & Objective Arterial stiffness is suggested as a mediator of cardiorenal interaction.
However, previous studies reported inconsistent associations between chronic kidney …

In patients with chronic kidney disease, data on blood pressure (BP) pattern and its
association with target organ damage, which indicates elevated cardiovascular risk, are …

Aortic pulse wave velocity (Ao-PWV) and ankle-brachial blood pressure index (ABPI) are
significant prognostic factors in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Diabetes …

Aortic pulse wave velocity index and mortality in end-stage renal disease. Background Aortic
pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a strong independent predictor of overall and cardiovascular …
