Key result
In chronic hemodialysis patients, the abdominal aortic calcification index (ACI) was significantly and positively correlated with pulse wave velocity (PWV) (r=0.466, p<0.001).
Cross-Sectional (n=122)
No
Effect estimate: r=0.466
p-value: p=<0.001
In hemodialysis patients, morphological assessment of atherosclerosis (ACI) and functional assessment (PWV) are significantly positively correlated, with age, diabetes, and systolic blood pressure identified as associated factors.
Supports integrated ACI-PWV vascular assessment in hemodialysis; leaves open causal links and therapeutic targets.

Kubo et al. (2003) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic hemodialysis (n=122). Abdominal aortic calcification index (ACI) was evaluated on Correlation between ACI and PWV (r=0.466, p=<0.001). In chronic hemodialysis patients, the abdominal aortic calcification index (ACI) was significantly and positively correlated with pulse wave velocity (PWV) (r=0.466, p<0.001).
