Non-invasive measures of pulse wave velocity correlate with coronary arterial plaque load in humans

OBJECTIVEArterial stiffness is an emerging major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study was to assess if coronary artery plaque load correlates with non-invasive measures of arterial stiffness. DESIGNProspective investigational study. SETTINGTertiary uni...
