Why the study?
Few studies in the literature have evaluated the relationship between arterial stiffness and renal disease progression or mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Does increased pulse wave velocity predict disease progression and mortality in patients with stage 3-5 chronic kidney disease?
Does increased pulse wave velocity predict disease progression and mortality in patients with stage 3-5 chronic kidney disease?
Increased pulse wave velocity is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with stage 3-5 chronic kidney disease.
PWV may predict mortality in CKD; leaves open whether stiffness-targeted interventions improve outcomes.
