Value of estimated pulse wave velocity to identify left ventricular hypertrophy prevalence: insights from a general population

Abstract Background Aortic stiffness shares a similar profile of risk factors with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and can also lead to LVH by itself. Published data have demonstrated the correlation between aortic stiffness and LVH. Recent data have revealed estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV)...
