P131 DETERMINANTS OF A NEW, NON-INVASIVE INDEX OF VENTRICULAR-ARTERIAL COUPLING AND MYOCARDIAL PERFORMANCE IN A GENERAL POPULATION SAMPLE
Background: The interaction between the heart and arteries (i.e. ventricular-arterial coupling, VAC) is a key determinant of cardiovascular performance. As such, VAC indexes might reflect the interplay between arterial stiffness and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. In a community-based sample, we...
