Individual versus integration of multiple components of central blood pressure and aortic stiffness in predicting cardiovascular mortality in end-stage renal diseases

Aortic stiffness, measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a predictor of cardiovascular (CV) mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Aortic stiffness increases aortic systolic and pulse pressures (cSBP, cPP) and augmentation index adjusted for a heart rate of 75 ...
