OBJECTIVE
The effects of acute hemodialysis session on pulse wave velocity are conflicting. The aim of the current study was to assess the acute effects of ultrafiltration on the aortic mechanical properties using carotid-femoral (aortic) pulse wave velocity and pulse propagation time.
METHODS
A total of 26 (12 women, 14 men) consecutive patients on maintenance hemodialysis (mean dialysis dur...
