Arterial stiffness is associated with prehypertension in both non-hypertensives and treated hypertensives–A matched case control study

Prehypertension (PHT) is a cardiovascular health risk defined by blood pressure (BP). Arterial stiffness (AS) provides beyond brachial BP inference on vascular ageing and pulse wave analysis (PWA) can measure it non-invasively.We compared association between AS and PHT using age and gender matched case-controls.
