Arterial Stiffness Predicts Rapid Decline in Glomerular Filtration Rate Among Patients with High Cardiovascular Risks.
CONCLUSION: Among patients with high risk of CV with or without CKD, high CAVI (cut point of ≥ 9) was independently associated with a rapid decline in GFR, suggesting that systemic vascular stiffness predicted a decrease in renal function in this population.
