Key result
Non-invasive screening using the Arteriograph device in 313 healthy students may be beneficial for detecting early, asymptomatic arterial atherosclerosis in subjects with high WTH ratio values.
Why the study?
Arterial stiffness is a useful marker of early vascular damage and predicts cardiovascular events in young people, prompting evaluation of a non-invasive device for cardiovascular disease prevention.
Does non-invasive screening using the Arteriograph device detect early arterial atherosclerosis in healthy students?

Does non-invasive screening using the Arteriograph device detect early arterial atherosclerosis in healthy students?
Non-invasive screening with the Arteriograph device may help detect early asymptomatic arterial atherosclerosis in healthy young subjects with high waist-to-hip ratios.
Arterial stiffness is classified as a useful marker of early vascular damaging and a predictor of cardiovascular events in young people. We aimed to present the efficacy of a non invasive device in cardiovascular diseases prevention. Using the Arteriograph device, it was performed a cross sectional, non-invasive study in 313 healthy students. Non-invasive screening of apparently healthy young subjects with high WTH ratio values may be beneficial for detecting early, asymptomatic arterial atherosclerosis.
