Calcineurin inhibitor drugs (cyclosporine and tacrolimus) given to renal transplant recipients to prevent rejection are associated with an increased incidence of hypertension. Reduced arterial compliance, which is a consequence of hypertension, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and can be measured noninvasively using pulse wave analysis technology. The purpose of the study was to determine whether calcineurin inhibitor drugs have any effect on arterial compliance.
