P153 Radial-finger Pulse Wave Velocity as a Measure of Microvascular Stiffness: Feasibility and Response to Nitroglycerin

Abstract Background/Objectives We previously demonstrated a different regional stiffness response of elastic and muscular arteries after the administration of nitroglycerin, leading to an alteration of aortic-brachial stiffness gradient. Regional stiffness of smaller arteries may respond differently...
