A total of 150 dialysis patients washed out of previous antihypertensive therapy (Pretreatment) and underwent periodic evaluation of aortic PWV (line indicating PWV is color coded to ordinate on right of each panel). See text for details of treatment. Primary outcome was survival. Those with faster aortic PWV that did not decline with antihypertensive treatment were more likely to die. This figure is adapted from reference (6).
