Key result
Decline in renal function over a mean follow-up of 4.68 years was associated with higher levels of pulse wave velocity in community-living individuals.
Why the study?
Is longitudinal decline in renal function associated with increased pulse wave velocity in a community-based sample?
Cohort (n=482)
Is longitudinal decline in renal function associated with increased pulse wave velocity in a community-based sample?
Longitudinal decline in renal function is associated with increased arterial stiffness (measured by PWV) in a community-based population.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May inform vascular risk assessment in renal decline; leaves open causality and intervention targets in community cohorts.
Elias et al. (2013) reported a cohort. Decline in renal function was evaluated on Pulse wave velocity (PWV) levels at follow-up. Decline in renal function over a mean follow-up of 4.68 years was associated with higher levels of pulse wave velocity in community-living individuals.
