Weak within-individual association of blood pressure and pulse wave velocity in hemodialysis is related to adverse outcomes

Conclusion: Weaker within-individual MBP–PWV association, based on ABPM recordings, is associated with higher risk of death and cardiovascular events in hemodialysis. These findings support that arterial stiffness insensitive to BP changes is the underlying factor for adverse outcomes in these individuals.
