Risk factors associated with brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity among peritoneal dialysis patients in Macao

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in Macao. Increased arterial stiffness determined by pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been established as an independent predictor of cardi...
