Arterial stiffness, assessed by measuring pulse wave velocity (PWV), has rarely been studied in hemodialysis patients. This is a population in which the classic cardiovascular risk factors prevail, to which are added factors specific to uremia. The aim of our work was to detail the classic factors determining pulse wave velocity (PWV). Our population comprised 38 patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis via arteriovenous fistula or jugular catheter. The mean duration of hemodialysis was 29.21±24.56. The mean age was 49±13 years (16-78 years). Twelve patients were hypertensive (31.6%). Mean S...
