10.9 ARTERIAL STIFFNESS INDEX BETA AND CARDIO-ANKLE VASCULAR INDEX INHERENTLY DEPEND ON BLOOD PRESSURE, BUT CAN BE READILY CORRECTED
Objectives: Arterial stiffness index β and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) are widely accepted to quantify the blood pressure (BP)-independent, intrinsic exponent (β0) of the BP-diameter relationship. CAVI and β assume an exponential relationship between pressure (P) and diameter (d). We aim (1)...
