The aim of this study was to develop an integrated central blood pressure-aortic stiffness (ICPS) risk score to predict cardiovascular events.It was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 100 chronic kidney disease (CKD) ...
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries worldwide, despite highly effective preventive treatments available. As a difference continues to exist between the ...
Experimental and clinical trials in the field of bone biology helped to clarify the role of receptors, which belong to the tumor necrosis factor family, such as osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor ...
BACKGROUND: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a marker and regulator of
arterial calcification, and it is related to cardiovascular
survival in haemodialysis patients. The link between OPG and
aortic stiffening--a consequence ...
AIMS: Current evidence on the psychological effects of antihypertensive medications is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of current antihypertensive medication on different psychometric ...
OBJECTIVE: The role of biochemical and functional markers of microvascular dysfunction to predict cardiovascular outcomes in nondialyzed chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. In this prospective cohort study, we ...
Measures of small and large artery dysfunction have not been investigated in a single cohort for the prediction of cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with nondialysed (ND) chronic kidney disease (CKD). This prospective ...
