Arterial stiffening is a crucial factor for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in a community-based normotensive population
Background: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is an important underlying hemodynamic mechanism for heart failure. Hypertension reportedly increases aortic stiffness with histological changes in the aorta assessed using aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) that is associated with LV diastolic d...
