Dissociation of pulse wave velocity and aortic wall stiffness in diabetic db/db mice: the in fl uence of blood pressure

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

The stiffness of conduit arteries is an important prognostic indicator of vascular health and has been associated with hypertension, atherosclerosis, and diabetes (Mitchell et_al, 2010; Townsend et_al, 2015; Jia et_al, 2018). The current clinical benchmark for detecting arterial stiffness is pulse wave velocity (PWV) as instituted by the American Heart Association Council for High Blood Pressure (Townsend et_al, 2015; Jia et_al, 2018). The stiffness of conduit arteries is an important prognostic indicator of vascular health not only in diabetes, but also in hypertension and atherosclerosis (Mitchell et_al, 2010; Townsend et_al, 2015; Jia et_al, 2018 . . .
