Prognostic Value of Carotid and Radial Artery Reservoir-Wave Parameters in End-Stage Renal Disease.

ABSTRACT: Background Reservoir-wave approach is an alternative model of arterial hemodynamics based on the assumption that measured arterial pressure is composed of volume-related (reservoir pressure) and wave-related components (excess pressure). However, the clinical utility of reservoir-wave approach remains debatable. Methods and Results In a single-center cohort of 260 dialysis patients, we examined whether carotid and radial reservoir-wave parameters were associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Central pulse pressure and augmentation index at 75 beats per minute were determined by radial arterial tonometry through generalized transfer function. Carotid and radial reservoir-wave analysis were performed to determine reservoir pressure and excess pressure integral. After a median
