Continuous normally distributed variables are presented as mean ± SD; continuous skewed variables are presented as median (IQR). cSBP: central systolic blood pressure, bSBP: brachial systolic blood pressure, bDBP: brachial diastolic blood pressure. * The vascular calcifications (by Adragao score) were estimated in 53 patients.
