Aortic stiffness and central systolic pressure are associated with ambulatory orthostatic BP fall in chronic kidney disease.

CONCLUSION: Aortic stiffness and central SBP are independently associated with orthostatic SBP fall in CKD patients. This suggests that enhanced arterial stiffness may be an underlying mechanism in baroreflex dysfunction, and may partly explain the vascular risk in CKD patients.
