A comparison of arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients with controlled and uncontrolled systolic blood pressure using pulse wave velocity measurement
Arterial stiffness is an important predictor of increased cardiovascular events. It has been shown to be strongly positively correlated with systolic blood pressure. The pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a non invasive measure of arterial stiffness and can reliably predict the degree of arterial stiff...
