Plasma Cathepsin L Level is Positively Associated with Arterial Stiffness in Geriatric Patients

Background: Cathepsin L (Cat L) is involved in the regulation of vascular aging processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between plasma Cat L level and arterial stiffness marker through brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in geriatric patients. Methods: Cross-section...
