Vascular compliance during insulin infusion and oral glucose challenge
Background: Vascular stiffness predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD). Pulse wave velocity (PWV), reflecting vascular stiffness, though determined largely by mean arterial pressure; is also sensitive to insulin and glucose. Capacitance in small (C2) and large vessels (C1), reflecting vascular respons...
