Segmental arterial stiffness in relation to B-type natriuretic peptide with preserved systolic heart function.

Segmental arterial stiffness in relation to B-type natriuretic peptide with preserved systolic heart function.

Central arterial stiffness has been shown to play a key role in cardiovascular disease. However, evidence regarding such arterial stiffness from various arterial segments in relation to B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) remains elusive.A total of 1255 participants (47.8% men; mean age: 62.6 ± 12.3 [S...
