Ankle‐brachial index arterial stiffness and biomarkers in the prediction of mortality and outcomes in patients with end‐stage kidney disease

摘要

BackgroundAlthough ankle‐brachial index (ABI) and brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) are significant predictors of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), their prognostic value in association with biomarkers has not been fully evaluated in patients with end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD).
