Reproducibility of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in end-stage renal disease patients: methodological considerations
ConclusionsWeek-to-week measurements of cf-PWV and pulse wave analysis are highly reproducible in ESRD patients prior to hemodialysis treatment. The high reproducibility and minimal test-to-test variations encourage use of cf-PWV to monitor changes in arterial stiffness and the efficacy of interventions in ESRD patients.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov,NCT02196610.
