| Abstract | Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The risk of CVD disease in these patients appears to be far greater than in the general population and even after the stratification for age, gender, race and the presence or absence of diabetes, cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients is about 10 to 20 times higher than in the general population. As a diagnostic categorie, CVD includes two principal conditions, i.e., cardiac complications stricto sensu, and vascular complications. These two complications are interrelated and arterial alterations can be the primary reason for the development of cardiac complications. Macrovascular disease develops rapidly in ESRD patients and is responsible for the high incidence of congestive heart failure, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), ischemic heart disease, sudden death, cerebrovascular accidents and peripheral artery diseases. Although the most frequent cause of these complications is occlusive lesions due to atheromatous plaques, many complications arise in ESRD patients in the absence of clinically significant atherosclerotic disease. Atherosclerosis, disease characterized by the presence of plaques, represents only one form of structural response to metabolic and hemodynamic alterations which interfere with the “natural” process of aging. The spectrum of arterial alterations in ESRD is broader, including large artery remodeling and changes in viscoelastic properties of arterial walls. The consequences of these alterations are different from those attibuted to plaques. While atheromatous lesions alter principally the conduit function of arteries and perfusion of tissue and organs downstream the lesions, non-atheromatous remodelling result principally in changes in dampening function of arteries, characterized by stiffening of arterial walls and with deleterious effects on the left ventricle and coronary perfusion. Arterial stiffening in ESRD patients is multifactorial at origin with extensive arterial calcifications as an important covariate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
