Heart rate may confound PWV interpretation in hypertension; leaves open whether adjustment refines prognostic value.
The relationship between heart rate and arterial stiffness (PWV) remains controversial and requires further elucidation to better assess cardiovascular risk.
Tan et al. (2017) conducted a review in Arterial stiffness. Heart rate was evaluated on Pulse wave velocity (PWV). The influence of heart rate on arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity remains controversial, with conflicting results often confounded by blood pressure changes.
