Why the study?
Does the combination of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia alter radial artery compliance and distensibility compared to either condition alone or normal subjects?
Does the combination of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia alter radial artery compliance and distensibility compared to either condition alone or normal subjects?
Hypercholesterolemia reverses the increased arterial compliance associated with hypertension, leading to arterial stiffening when both conditions are present.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Combined hypertension and hypercholesterolemia was associated with reduced arterial compliance; leaves open effects on outcomes and need for prospective studies.
Giannattasio et al. (1997) studied this question.
