Abstract:The early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of subclinical atherosclerosis before the onset of life-threatening cardiovascular (CV) diseases are major unmet medical needs in current clinical practice. Noninvasive arterial stiffness indices, the arterial velocity–pulse index (AVI) and the arterial pressure–volume index (API) have been associated with CV risks, conventional arterial stiffness indices, and the severity of coronary atherosclerosis. However, few studies have examined the relationship between thes… Show more
