Does arterial stiffness mediate the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease related to insulin resistance?
Arterial stiffness partly mediates the relationship between insulin resistance and ASCVD, highlighting it as a potential therapeutic target for ASCVD prevention.
The association between IR indices and ASCVD was found to be partly mediated by baPWV, indicating a pathway connecting IR to ASCVD outcomes and the potential for interventions targeting arterial stiffness for ASCVD prevention.
Wu et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
