Why the study?
Should the Augmentation Index be normalized to heart rate when assessing systemic arterial stiffness?
Should the Augmentation Index be normalized to heart rate when assessing systemic arterial stiffness?
Instead of normalizing the augmentation index to a heart rate of 75 bpm, researchers should include heart rate as an independent predictor or covariate in analyses of arterial stiffness.

May prompt re-evaluation of AIx@75 in assessments; leaves open optimal HR covariate modeling in stiffness research.
