The relationship between various measures of obesity and arterial stiffness in morbidly obese patients
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Obesity is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Arterial stiffness assessed by carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investig...
