Why the study?
Is metabolic syndrome associated with increased brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in a Chinese community population?
Is metabolic syndrome associated with increased brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in a Chinese community population?
Metabolic syndrome and its increasing number of components, particularly elevated blood pressure, are strongly associated with increased arterial stiffness as measured by baPWV.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
MetS was associated with higher baPWV; leaves open whether baPWV screening refines risk stratification in community cohorts.
Wang et al. (2016) studied this question.
