Why the study?
What are the determinants of accelerated progression of arterial stiffness in normotensive and treated hypertensive subjects over a 6-year period?
What are the determinants of accelerated progression of arterial stiffness in normotensive and treated hypertensive subjects over a 6-year period?
High blood pressure, heart rate, and serum creatinine are key drivers of accelerated arterial aging in treated hypertensive patients over a 6-year period.
