Aortic calcification, arterial stiffness and bone mineral density in patients with COPD☆

Aortic calcification, arterial stiffness and bone mineral density in patients with COPD☆

Background: Increased arterial stiffness, using aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been demonstrated in patients with COPD. However, mechanisms underlying this remain unclear. We explored the contribution of aortic calcification to large artery haemodynamics and its association to bone mineral den...
