Why the study?
The study aimed to examine the association between baseline level and change of autonomic nervous function with subsequent development of arterial stiffness.
Is autonomic dysfunction associated with the development of arterial stiffness?
Is autonomic dysfunction associated with the development of arterial stiffness?
A steeper decline in autonomic nervous function is associated with higher levels of arterial stiffness, particularly in younger individuals.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Steeper HRV decline associates with higher PWV; leaves open whether autonomic modulation slows arterial stiffening.
Schaarup et al. (2023) studied this question.
