Establishing the interchangeability of arterial stiffness but not endothelial function parameters in healthy individuals

Establishing the interchangeability of arterial stiffness but not endothelial function parameters in healthy individuals

Abstract Background Development of instruments capable of detecting early stage vascular disease has increased interest in employing arterial stiffness (e.g. pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AIx)) and endothelial dysfunction (e.g. reactive hyperemia index (RHI)) to diagnose atheroscler...
