Key result
The Cardio-ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) is a blood pressure-independent parameter that reflects proper arterial stiffness and can differentiate the effects of various antihypertensive agents.
CAVI provides a novel, blood pressure-independent measure of arterial stiffness that may be useful in evaluating the vascular benefits of antihypertensive therapies.

May inform differential vascular effects of antihypertensives; leaves open its role in guiding therapy selection.
Shirai et al. (2013) conducted a review in Hypertension. Cardio-ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) was evaluated. The Cardio-ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) is a blood pressure-independent parameter that reflects proper arterial stiffness and can differentiate the effects of various antihypertensive agents.
