Ambulatory Pulse Wave Velocity Is a Stronger Predictor of Cardiovascular Events and All-Cause Mortality Than Office and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Hemodialysis Patients
Pantelis Sarafidis,Charalampos Loutradis,Antonios Karpetas,Georgios Tzanis,Alexia Piperidou,Georgios Koutroumpas,Vasilios Raptis,Christos Syrgkanis,Vasilios Liakopoulos,Georgios Efstratiadis,G. London,Carmine Zoccali +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that arterial stiffness is the prominent cardiovascular risk factor in hemodialysis and Ambulatory PWV, AIx(75), and central pulse pressure are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality, whereas office and ambulatory SBP are not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of a Novel Brachial Cuff-Based Oscillometric Method for Estimating Central Systolic Pressure in Hemodialysis Patients
Pantelis Sarafidis,Panagiotis I. Georgianos,Antonios Karpetas,Athanasios Bikos,Linda Korelidou,Maria Tersi,Dimitrios Divanis,Georgios Tzanis,Konstantinos Mavromatidis,Vassilios Liakopoulos,Pantelis Zebekakis,Anastasios N. Lasaridis,Athanase D. Protogerou +12 more
TL;DR: Evaluating in hemodialysis patients the validity of a new ambulatory oscillometric device, which estimates aortic BP, augmentation index (AIx) and pulse wave velocity (PWV), found acceptable agreement between the two devices and no evidence of systemic bias for PWV was evident.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambulatory recording of wave reflections and arterial stiffness during intra- and interdialytic periods in patients treated with dialysis.
Antonios Karpetas,Pantelis Sarafidis,Panagiotis I. Georgianos,Athanase D. Protogerou,Pantelis Vakianis,Georgios Koutroumpas,Vasileios Raptis,Dimitrios N. Stamatiadis,Christos Syrganis,Vassilios Liakopoulos,Georgios Efstratiadis,Anastasios N. Lasaridis +11 more
TL;DR: This study showed a gradual interdialytic increase in AIx, whereas PWV was only slightly elevated during Day 2, and future studies are needed to elucidate the value of these ambulatory measures for cardiovascular risk prediction in ESRD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lung Ultrasound–Guided Dry Weight Assessment and Echocardiographic Measures in Hypertensive Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Controlled Study
Charalampos Loutradis,Christodoulos Papadopoulos,Vassilios Sachpekidis,Robert Ekart,Barbara Krunic,Antonios Karpetas,Athanasios Bikos,Ioannis Tsouchnikas,Efstathios Mitsopoulos,Aikaterini Papagianni,Carmine Zoccali,Pantelis Sarafidis +11 more
TL;DR: A US-guided strategy for dry weight reduction is associated with decreased cardiac chamber dimensions and LV filling pressure, but no difference in systolic performance compared with usual care in hypertensive hemodialysis patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of interdialytic blood pressure variability with cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in haemodialysis patients.
Pantelis Sarafidis,Charalampos Loutradis,Antonios Karpetas,Georgios Tzanis,Athanasios Bikos,V. Raptis,Christos Syrgkanis,Vassilios Liakopoulos,Aikaterini Papagianni,George L. Bakris,Gianfranco Parati +10 more
TL;DR: Increased BPV during the interdialytic interval is associated with higher risk of death and cardiovascular events, whereas ambulatory BP levels are not, and short-term BPV could be a mediator promoting the adverse cardiovascular profile of haemodialysis patients.
