Why the study?
Does peripheral arterial volume distensibility differ between heart failure patients and normal subjects?
Does peripheral arterial volume distensibility differ between heart failure patients and normal subjects?
Peripheral arterial volume distensibility is significantly reduced in heart failure patients compared to normal subjects, and is associated with high systolic blood pressure and low LVEF.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Reduced arterial distensibility in HF is hypothesis-generating; leaves open its prognostic value or response to therapy.
Liu et al. (2013) studied this question.
