Why the study?
Are aortic stiffness and carotid intima-media thickness independent markers of subclinical vascular damage in healthy young adults?
Are aortic stiffness and carotid intima-media thickness independent markers of subclinical vascular damage in healthy young adults?
Aortic stiffness and CIMT reflect separate entities of vascular damage in healthy young adults, suggesting they provide independent information on subclinical vascular health.
Supports independent vascular assessment via stiffness and CIMT in young adults; hypothesis-generating for combined risk stratification.
These observations suggest that in healthy young adults arterial stiffness and CIMT reflect two separate entities of vascular damage.
