Carotid Artery Stiffness Mechanisms Are Associated With End Organ Damage and All‐Cause Mortality: MESA (Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis)

Carotid Artery Stiffness Mechanisms Are Associated With End Organ Damage and All‐Cause Mortality: MESA (Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis)

Background Arterial stiffness can be separated into 2 main mechanisms: (1) load‐dependent stiffening from higher blood pressure and (2) structural stiffening due to remodeling of the vessel wall. The relationship between stiffness mechanisms and end organ damage is unknown. Methods and Results MESA...
