Key result
During a mean follow-up of 28 months, kidney transplant recipients experienced a significant progressive increase in pulse wave velocity from 9.1 to 9.8 m/s (p<0.002).
Cohort (n=61)
Absolute Event Rate: 9.8% vs 9.1%
p-value: p=<0.002
Kidney transplant recipients experience progressive arterial stiffening during long-term follow-up, particularly those aged 50 years or older.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Progressive arterial stiffening occurs after kidney transplant; hypothesis-generating for PWV monitoring in recipients ≥50 years, needs prospective validation.
Stróżecki et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Kidney transplant recipients (n=61). Time post-kidney transplantation vs. Baseline was evaluated on Change in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) (p=<0.002). During a mean follow-up of 28 months, kidney transplant recipients experienced a significant progressive increase in pulse wave velocity from 9.1 to 9.8 m/s (p<0.002).
