Diastolic Augmentation Index Improves Radial Augmentation Index in Assessing Arterial Stiffness
Abstract Arterial stiffness is an important risk factor for cardiovascular events. Radial augmentation index (AI r ) can be more conveniently measured compared with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV). However, the performance of AI r in assessing arterial stiffness is limited. This study pr...
