Incremental Value of Pulse Wave Velocity in the Determination of Coronary Microcirculatory Dysfunction in Never-treated Patients With Essential Hypertension

Background Coronary microcirculation is disturbed in essential hypertension. We investigated whether arterial stiffness determines coronary flow reserve (CFR) in hypertensive patients. Methods We examined 100 never-treated hypertensives and 20 healthy controls. We measured (i) carotid-to-femoral pul...
