Dissociation of pulse wave velocity and aortic wall stiffness in diabetic db/db mice: The influence of blood pressure

Dissociation of pulse wave velocity and aortic wall stiffness in diabetic db/db mice: The influence of blood pressure

Introduction: Vascular stiffness is a predictor of cardiovascular disease and pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the current standard for measuring in vivo vascular stiffness. Mean arterial pressure is the largest confounding variable to PWV; therefore, in this study we aimed to test the hypothesis that i...
