Association of hemoglobin with arterial stiffness evaluated by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity among Chinese adults
Objective: Increased hemoglobin (Hb) levels are known to be associated with increased cardiovascular events and mortalities. Therefore, we assumed that high Hb levels were associated with arterial stiffness. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a simple and noninvasive method for measuring arterial stiffnes...
