Decreased Lung Function Is Associated With Increased Arterial Stiffness as Measured by Peripheral Pulse Pressure: Data From NHANES III

Background Individuals with impaired lung function have an elevated risk of cardiovascular events. Improved understanding of the factors associated with increased cardiovascular risk in the setting of lung function impairment is needed. We set out to determine in a nationwide population-based cohort...
