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
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood pressure variability is increasing from the first to the second day of the interdialytic interval in hemodialysis patients.
Antonios Karpetas,Charalampos Loutradis,Athanasios Bikos,Georgios Tzanis,Georgios Koutroumpas,Antonios Lazaridis,Konstantinos Mavromatidis,Vassilios Liakopoulos,Aikaterini Papagianni,Pantelis Zebekakis,Luis M. Ruilope,Gianfranco Parati,Pantelis Sarafidis +12 more
TL;DR: BPV is increased in interdialytic Day 2 compared with Day 1 in hemodialysis patients; this could be another mechanism involved in the complex cardiovascular pathophysiology and increased cardiovascular mortality of these individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambulatory blood pressure profile and blood pressure variability in peritoneal dialysis compared with hemodialysis and chronic kidney disease patients
Maria Eleni Alexandrou,Charalampos Loutradis,Maria Schoina,Georgios Tzanis,Chrysostomos Dimitriadis,Vasileios Sachpekidis,Dorothea Papadopoulou,Eugenia Gkaliagkousi,Aikaterini Papagianni,Gianfranco Parati,Pantelis Sarafidis +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that PD is no better than HD with regard to overall BP control or BP fluctuations over time, and the dialysis modality has no effect on the ambulatory BP profile.
