Investigation of the relationship between glomerular filtration rate and aortic propagation velocity, epicardial fat thickness, and carotid intima-media thickness in chronic kidney disease patients
Abstract:Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of mortality and morbidity in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Aortic propagation velocity (APV), epicardial fat thickness (EFT), and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurements could provide additional information on assessing renal decline in CKD patients. The study aimed to evaluate EFT, AVP, and CIMT in CKD patients and then investigate the association among those parameters. Methods and Results: A total of 170 CKD consecutive subje… Show more
