Arterial stiffness is associated with complications in type 1 diabetes; hypothesis-generating for its role in risk stratification.
Is arterial stiffness associated with cardiovascular, renal, retinal, and autonomic complications in patients with type 1 diabetes?
Arterial stiffness, measured by pulse wave velocity, is significantly increased in patients with type 1 diabetes and correlates independently with cardiovascular, renal, retinal, and autonomic complications.
