... every 20 min throughout the entire 24-h monitoring period to quantify BP, HR, and ambulatory arterial stiffness. Daytime BP/HR was quantified between 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., and nighttime BP/HR was assessed between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Results: Daytime BP and HR were similar between racial groups...

... Heemann; Siegfried Wassertheurer; Christoph Schmaderer Background: Mortality in hemodialysis patients still remains unacceptably high. Enhanced arterial stiffness is a known cardiovascular risk factor, and pulse wave velocity (PWV) has proven to be a valid parameter to quantify risk. Recent studies showed...

.... Arterial stiffness Cardiovascular disease Bicarbonate Heart failure Left ventricular mass National Institutes of Health (NIH) 10.13039/100000002 The leading cause of death in both men and women in the United States is cardiovascular disease (CVD). While interventions aimed...

... mortality in renal transplant recipients (RTR). Large artery structure and function are significantly impaired in RTR which contributes to their high cardiovascular morbidity and could be altered by erythropoietin. We aimed to examine the influence of ESA therapy on large artery stiffness and endothelial...

.... Previous studies evaluating the effect of hemodialysis on large artery elasticity gave contradictory results. This study aimed to investigate the impact of hemodialysis on arterial stiffness and wave reflections on chronic hemodialysis patients. Methods: A total of 51 stable ESRD patients on maintenance...

... stiffness. Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study of 538 hemodialysis patients with a median follow-up of 19 months (interquartile range 8–30). Arterial stiffness was measured using applanation tonometry. Clinical performance measure targets were hemoglobin value ≥110 g/l, serum albumin value ≥37...

...Yue Gu; Li-Tao Cheng; Jing Zeng; Tao Wang Background: Arterial stiffness is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. It has been reported that female and elderly diabetes mellitus (DM) patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) had...

... with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis. The aim of this study was to compare ankle-brachial index (ABI) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) between patients with CKD and hemodialysis and thus examined the status of peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD) and arterial stiffness between...

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) reflects arterial stiffness...

... unknown, overall the proportion of deaths due to cardiovascular disease is estimated at 40–50% among dialysis patients. Arterial stiffness has been established as a cardiovascular risk factor, while the links between peritoneal transport status and aortic stiffness have not yet been investigated. Methods...

... association in univariate analysis. OSI and diabetic nephropathy were found to be significant independent parameters. Conclusion: Calcaneal OSI, a surrogate marker for estimated BMD, has a strong ability to predict the severity of arterial stiffness independent of classical risk factors and markers...
