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...
