Article Synopsis
  • Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a higher risk of cardiovascular events, possibly due to increased sympathetic activity affecting blood pressure (BP).

  • The results suggest that patients with CKD do not exhibit enhanced sympathetic transduction to BP compared to control groups, indicating that other factors may contribute to their increased cardiovascular risk.
