Vasoactive drugs may confound augmentation index readings; leaves open validation and outcome relevance in patients.
Do vasoactive drugs alter aortic augmentation index independently of pulse-wave velocity in asymptomatic men?
Vasoactive drugs significantly alter the aortic augmentation index independently of changes in aortic pulse-wave velocity in healthy men.
Kelly et al. (2001) studied this question.
