Arterial compliance assessment may reflect vascular disease; hypothesis-generating for clinical use pending prospective validation.
This review discusses the pathophysiologic concepts of vascular compliance, its role as a potential risk factor or marker for cardiovascular disease, and the various methodologies used to estimate it.
Stephen P. Glasser (1997) conducted a review in Cardiovascular Disease. Reduced vascular compliance was evaluated. Reduced vascular compliance may precede clinically apparent cardiovascular disease, acting as both a potential risk factor and a marker, though lack of a gold standard methodology limits comparisons.
