[en] Baseline Ankle-Brachial Blood Pressure Index (ABI base) was measured in 85 chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients in 2005, giving a 41% prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (ABI < 0.9). The index was measured 1 year later (ABI 1 year) in 69 BD for whom both screening values were available. The evolution of ABI, 1 year apart, was analyzed in relation to major other cardiovascular (CV) risk factors such as hypertension (lIT), pulse pressure (PP),
pulse wave velocity (PWV), phosphocalcic metabolism, and lipids.
