Relationship of Arterial Stiffness Index and Pulse Pressure With Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality

Relationship of Arterial Stiffness Index and Pulse Pressure With Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality

BackgroundVascular aging results in stiffer arteries and may have a role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Arterial stiffness index (ASI), measured by finger photoplethysmography, and pulse pressure (PP) are 2 independent vascular aging indices. We investigated whether ASI or PP pr...
