Arterial stiffness parameters can be used as a predictor of cardiovascular events in the general population and renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Additionally, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS) blockade mitigates arterial stiffness in the general population. There are no sufficient data concerning the role of the RAAS blockade in reducing arterial stiffness among patients after kidney transplantation. The aim of this study is to assess the influence of the above blockade on arterial stiffness in RTRs.
