Central and peripheral pulse wave velocities are associated with ankle–brachial pressure index

Central and peripheral pulse wave velocities are associated with ankle–brachial pressure index

Background: Central Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is considered to be the gold standard measurement of arterial stiffness. In healthy subjects, cardiovascular risk factors such as age, hypertension, diabetes and end-stage renal disease are associated with increased central (Carotid–Femoral) and peripher...
