LONGITUDINAL STUDY ON INDEPENDENT AND JOINT EFFECT OF BRACHIAL-ANKLE PULSE WAVE VELOCITY AND BLOOD PRESSURE CONTROL ON INCIDENT STROKE IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS

2016

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been shown to affect the effects of anti-hypertensive treatment in prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Data are very limited regarding whether PWV is an independent predictor of stroke above and beyond hypertension control. This longitudinal analysis examined the
