Caution advised comparing heterogeneous arterial stiffness indices clinically; leaves open need for methodological standardization in vascular research.
Different indices of arterial stiffness may not correlate well with each other unless they share a homogeneous methodology, highlighting the need for caution when comparing different measures of vascular function.
Hirofumi Tanaka (2017) conducted a review in Arterial stiffness. Indices of arterial stiffness was evaluated on Correlation between different measures of arterial stiffness. Various indices of arterial stiffness show good correlations when sharing a homogeneous methodology, but lack significant associations across different measurement techniques.
