Fig 5 Probability of overall survival in patients with ESRD with aortic stiffening, divided into tertiles. Patients in the highest tertile (pulse wave velocity [PWV] >12 milliseconds) were 5.4 times as likely to die of any cause than those in the lowest tertile (PWV < 9.4 milliseconds) and 5.9 times as likely to die of cardiovascular causes.
