Aging, rather than concomitant atherosclerosis, is the dominant factor associated with reduced arterial compliance and increased left ventricular load in a Chinese urban population.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Age may predominate over atherosclerosis in driving arterial stiffness and LV load; leaves open generalizability beyond Chinese urban cohorts.
Avolio et al. (1983) studied this question.
