Pulse wave velocity is a new predictor of acute kidney injury development after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

[摘要] Background Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is the simple, non-invasive, gold-standard method for assessing arterial stiffness. However, baPWV has been shown to be associated with renal dyfunction, with a few reports demonstrating an association between baPWV and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) among surgical patients.
