Sex differences in pulse contour-risk associations are hypothesis-generating; should not change practice without prospective validation.
How do diastolic and systolic indices of radial artery pulse contour analysis correlate with traditional cardiovascular risk factors in asymptomatic individuals?
Diastolic and systolic indices of radial artery pulse contour analysis show sex-specific correlations with traditional cardiovascular risk factors and the Framingham Risk Score in asymptomatic individuals.
