Pulse wave velocity predicts mortality in renal transplant patients
BACKGROUND measuring arterial stiffness using pulse wave velocity (PWV) has become an important tool to assess vascular function and cardiovascular mortality. For subject with hypertension, end-stage renal disease and diabetes, PWV has been shown to predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We hypothesize that PWV would also predict mortality in subjects who have undergone kidney transpla...
متن کاملAortic pulse wave velocity in normals and heart failure patients
Background Aortic compliance (AC) can be evaluated noninvasively and its reduction with aortic pathology and age in normals has been demonstrated with both MRI and Doppler echo methods. Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), a measurement of the flow pulse traveling along aorta as a surrogate for AC, can be assessed using a single breath-hold phase contrast (PC) imaging technique. Congestive heart f...
متن کاملCentral aortic pressure influences pulse wave velocity.
Central Aortic Pressure Influences Pulse Wave Velocity To the Editor: The study reported by Lantelme and colleagues1 suggests that increasing heart rate is independently associated with higher aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV). We are concerned that the authors of this study have neither addressed the impact of central aortic pressure changes on PWV nor the presence of potential bias in their st...
متن کاملAugmentation index and aortic pulse wave velocity in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms.
BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a severe disease that can prove fatal. Factors such as advanced age, male gender, family history and cigarette use increase the risk of AAA. These factors associated with AAA development also increase arterial stiffness. Aortic pulse-wave velocity (PWV) was measured as an index of aortic stiffness. The heart rate-corrected augmentation index (AIx@75...
متن کاملMeasurement variation of aortic pulse wave velocity in the elderly.
Accurate and reproducible measures are required to study arterial stiffness in human populations. The reproducibility of aortic pulse wave velocity was evaluated in 14 participants from a population-based study of cardiovascular disease in the elderly. Three data files were collected per participant by each of two sonographers and files were read by two readers. Seven of the 14 participants ret...
