Key result
Central pulse wave velocity (r=-0.385) and arterial elastance (r=-0.424) were significantly and inversely correlated with shuttle walk time in patients with end-stage renal disease.
Cross-Sectional (n=42)
Yes
Effect estimate: r=-0.385

In patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, arterial stiffness and stroke volume index are significantly correlated with functional capacity as measured by shuttle walk time.

Arterial stiffness measures were associated with reduced functional capacity in ESRD; hypothesis-generating, prospective trials needed before clinical adoption.
Lane et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in End-Stage Renal Disease (n=42). Arterial stiffness (central pulse wave velocity) was evaluated on Correlation between central pulse wave velocity (PWV) and shuttle walk time (r=-0.385, p=<0.05). Central pulse wave velocity (r=-0.385) and arterial elastance (r=-0.424) were significantly and inversely correlated with shuttle walk time in patients with end-stage renal disease.
