P31 DO TREATMENT INDUCED CHANGES IN ARTERIAL STIFFNESS AFFECT LEFT VENTRICULAR STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION? – A META-ANALYSIS

Background: Vascular research demonstrated that pulse wave velocity (PWV), a measure of arterial stiffness, is inherently blood pressure-dependent. Considering the hypothesised pathophysiological chain of increased arterial stiffness leading to increased blood pressure load with consequent left vent...
