Background. Native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the vascular access of choice and its use cf. catheters is associated with sustained reduction in mortality. This may be due to factors beyond dialysis catheter-associated sepsis. This study aimed to investigate the impact of AVF formation on the spectrum of cardiovascular factors that might be important in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.Methods. We recruited 43 pre-dialysis patients who underwent AVF formation. Patients were studied 2 weeks prior to AVF operation and 2 weeks and 3 months post-operatively. Haemodynamic variables were measured using pulse wave analysis, carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (CF-PWV) by applanation tonometry and AVF blood flow by Doppler ultrasound. Bioimpedence analysis was performed and patients underwent serial transthoracic echocardiography.Results. AVF formation was successful in 30/43 patients. Two weeks post-operatively, total peripheral resistance decreased (-17 +/- 18%, P = 0.001), stroke volume tended to rise (12 +/- 30 mL, P = 0.053) and both heart rate (4 +/- 8 bpm, P = 0.01) and cardiac output (1.1 +/- 1.5 L/min, P = 0.001) increased. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures (BPs) reduced (-9 +/- 18 mmHg; -9 +/- 10 mmHg;
