Prognostic Significance of Ankle-Brachial Index, Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity, Flow-Mediated Dilation, and Nitroglycerin-Mediated Dilation in End-Stage Renal Disease

<i>Background:</i> Identifying patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease is important in managing patients undergoing hemodialysis. <i>Methods:</i> We evaluated a series of prognostic values: flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and nitrogen-mediated dilation (NMD), an index of endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent function, respectively, ankle-brachial index (ABI), and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)...
