Descriptive study of the relationship between the subclinical carotid disease and biomarkers, carotid femoral pulse wave velocity in patients with hypertension
Background: Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a significant early prediction signal for preclinical atherosclerosis. Plasma homocysteine (Hcy) level is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), an index of arterial stiffness (AS), has showed its value...
