Reproducibility of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in end-stage renal disease patients: methodological considerations
BACKGROUND In end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, increased arterial stiffness detected by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is associated with fatal cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Since cf-PWV is an operator-dependent technique, poor reproducibility may be a source of bias in the estimation of arterial stiffness. OBJECTIVES We assessed the week-to-week reprodu...
متن کاملThe role of myocardial perfusion SPECT in short-term cardiac prognosis of end-stage renal disease
Introduction: One of the most important causes of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and even after kidney transplantation is cardiovascular diseases. Thus, cardiac evaluation is of utmost importance in the management of these patients especially during preoperative work up before renal transplantation. The aim of present study is to evaluate the role of myoc...
متن کاملPulse Wave Analysis and Pulse Wave Velocity
momanometer that provides arterial pressures (brachial systolic and diastolic pressure) is coming under question. The concerns extend well beyond the familiar issue of “white coat” hypertension, home and 24-h blood pressure recordings, and the phase-out of mercury based instruments. These concerns relate to the inaccuracy of all cuff devices for measuring pressure within the brachial artery, th...
متن کاملDifferential effects of age on carotid augmentation index and aortic pulse wave velocity in end-stage renal disease patients.
BACKGROUND In healthy, normotensive individuals, age-related changes in carotid augmentation index (AI) are more prominent in younger individuals (< 50 years), whereas changes in aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) are more marked in older individuals (> 50 years). We investigated whether the differential effects of age on AI and PWV also existed in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. METHO...
متن کاملlegal aspects of end of life and end stage disease
Abstract: Aims: End of Life (EOL) care providers potentially face by variety of legal and professional dilemma. This study is designed to review and analyze these challenges and approaches to solve them. Materials & Methods: In this narrative review study, legal aspects of end-of-life care in subjects such as medical assisted dying, decision-making capacity and withdrawal of life-sustaining...
