Decreased heritability and emergence of novel genetic effects on pulse wave velocity from youth to young adulthood
Abstract Increased arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an important parameter in the assessment of cardiovascular risk. Our previous longitudinal study has demonstrated that carotid-distal PWV showed reasonable stability throughout youth and young adulthood. This stability mi...
