Arterial stiffness indices relate to mean BP; leaves open whether BP standardization is needed before wider clinical adoption.
How do acute blood pressure perturbations influence various measures of arterial stiffness in healthy adults?
Acute blood pressure changes induced by physical and mental stimuli significantly alter various indices of arterial stiffness, highlighting the blood pressure-dependence of these measurements.
Lim et al. (2015) studied this question.
