May aid risk stratification in dialysis; leaves open whether mismatch is a modifiable target.
Observational (n=310)
Effect estimate: HR 1.43 (95% CI 1.24-1.64)
p-value: p=<0.001
Fortier et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Dialysis (n=310). Aortic-brachial arterial stiffness mismatch (pulse wave velocity ratio) was evaluated on Mortality (HR 1.43, 95% CI 1.24-1.64, p=<0.001). Aortic-brachial arterial stiffness mismatch was independently associated with increased mortality in dialysis patients (adjusted HR 1.23; 95% CI 1.02-1.49 per 1 SD increase).
