Longitudinal Changes and Predictive Value of the Renal Resistive Index in the General Population
This study provides the first longitudinal description of the RRI's natural history in a general adult population. RRI increased stronger over time with ageing, higher pulsatility and diabetes mellitus. However, its limited predictive value for cardiovascular events disfavours its use for risk stratification in the community.
