The association of the AI with gender is greater for females than that of the PWV&#44; as it occurs in patients with hypertension and diabetes&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3 </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">According to a recently published study by Work Raymond et al&#46;&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17 </span>which measured the PWV in 2&#44;564 patients with chronic kidney disease&#44; the factors with positive association with the PWV were age&#44; blood glucose concentrations&#44; race&#44; waist circumference&#44; MAP&#44; gender and negative association with the level of kidney function&#46; These variables are similar to those of this study&#44; except for the exclusion of the blood glucose level from the multiple regression model and the inclusion of the heart rate&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The heart rate had a negative correlation with the AI in hypertensive patients&#44; a fact that has been described extensively in patients with kidney disease&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18 </span>but not so with the PWV&#46; According to the review published in 2009 by Cecelja et al&#46;&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3 </span>heart rate may be associated differently with parameters that evaluate arterial stiffness&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Finally&#44; in a study published by Temmar et al&#46;&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">19 </span>which assessed arterial stiffness and the presence of arterial calcifications using the PWV&#44; it is concluded that vascular stiffness and vascular calcification&#44; measured using the PWV&#44; appear soon in patients with chronic kidney disease&#46; Nevertheless&#44; only vascular calcification worsens as the disease progresses&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">To conclude&#44; arterial stiffness is greater in hypertensive patients with kidney disease measured by PWV&#46; However&#44; kidney disease was not associated with arterial stiffness when it was measured with the AI&#46; This confirms that the two measures used to assess stiffness in the clinical practice are not interchangeable in this group of patients&#44; as it has been demonstrated in hypertensive and diabetic patients&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#44;9 </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In the light of this data&#44; kidney disease may be another confounding factor when using the AI as a substitute for measuring arterial stiffness&#46; This supports the findings that indicate that the PWV is the only index of arterial stiffness that is independently associated with the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality results in patients with kidney disease&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11 </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Finally&#44; we believe that further studies are required to establish the relative strength of the prediction of cardiovascular risk with each of these two measures and to evaluate whether their joint implementation brings any additional benefits&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;10383&#95;108&#95;9211&#95;en&#95;10383&#95;t1&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="10383_108_9211_en_10383_t1.jpg" alt="Demographic&#44;

we found that PWV values are significantly higher in hypertensive patients with kidney disease than in those with normal renal function&#46; Nevertheless&#44; we found no differences between the two groups of patients when we used the AI as an indicator of arterial stiffness&#46; Similarly&#44; the variables that assess the existence of kidney disease remained in the multiple regression model&#44; explaining the variability of the PWV&#46; However&#44; when the AI was used as the dependent variable in the same model&#44; these variables disappeared as determinants of the variability&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As described in other studies&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3 </span>both the PWV and the AI are correlated with the patient&#8217;s blood pressure&#46; Conversely&#44; when adjusting them for age and gender&#44; the association of blood pressure is positive with the PWV and negative with the AI&#44; a fact that confirms the data published by other authors on patients with kidney disease&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16 </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Several studies have already described that patients with kidney disease have higher PWV values&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;10&#44;17 </span>which are consistent with the findings of this study&#46; The association of the AI with gender is greater for females than that of the PWV&#44; as it occurs in patients with hypertension and diabetes&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3 </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">According to a recently published study by Work Raymond et al&#46;&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17 </span>which measured the PWV in 2&#44;564 patients with chronic kidney disease&#44; the factors with positive association with the PWV were age&#44; blood glucose concentrations&#44; race&#44; waist circumference&#44; MAP&#44; gender and negative association with the level of kidney function&#46; These variables are similar to those of this study&#44; except for the exclusion of the blood glucose level from the multiple regression model and the inclusion of the heart rate&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The heart rate had a negative correlation with the AI in hypertensive patients&#44; a fact that has been described extensively in patients with kidney disease&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18 </span>but not so with the PWV&#46; According to the review published in 2009 by Cecelja et al&#46;&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3 </span>heart rate may be associated differently with parameters that evaluate arterial stiffness&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Finally&#44; in a study published by Temmar et al&#46;&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">19 </span>which assessed arterial stiffness and the presence of arterial calcifications using the PWV&#44; it is concluded that vascular stiffness and vascular calcification&#44; measured using the PWV&#44; appear soon in patients with chronic kidney disease&#46; Nevertheless&#44; only vascular calcification worsens as the disease progresses&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">To conclude&#44; arterial stiffness is greater in hypertensive patients with kidney disease measured by PWV&#46; However&#44; kidney disease was not associated with arterial stiffness when it was measured with the AI&#46; This confirms that the two measures used to assess stiffness in the clinical practice are not interchangeable in this group of patients&#44; as it has been demonstrated in hypertensive and diabetic patients&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#44;9 </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In the light of this data&#44; kidney disease may be another confounding factor when using the AI as a substitute for measuring arterial stiffness&#46; This supports the findings that indicate that the PWV is the only index of arterial stiffness that is independently associated with the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality results in patients with kidney disease&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11 </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Finally&#44; we believe that further studies are required to establish the relative strength of the prediction of cardiovascular risk with each of these two measures and to evaluate whether their joint implementation brings any additional benefits&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;10383&#95;108&#95;9211&#95;en&#95;10383&#95;t1&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="10383_108_9211_en_10383_t1.jpg" alt="Demographic&#44;
