Key result
High arterial stiffness assessed by CAVI was significantly associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, demonstrated by a lower e' wave compared to the normal CAVI group (5.9 vs 6.4, p<0.01).
Why the study?
Does arterial stiffness assessed by CAVI correlate with cardiac function and structure in patients undergoing echocardiography?

Does arterial stiffness assessed by CAVI correlate with cardiac function and structure in patients undergoing echocardiography?
Increased arterial stiffness assessed by CAVI is associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and cardiac structural remodeling, suggesting its utility in evaluating ventriculo-arterial coupling.
Supports CAVI as potential marker of ventriculo-arterial coupling; hypothesis-generating and requires confirmation in longitudinal studies.

Sugiyama et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Arterial stiffness and cardiac dysfunction (n=543). High Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) vs. Normal or low CAVI was evaluated on Peak early diastolic mitral annular motion velocity (e' wave) (p=<0.01). High arterial stiffness assessed by CAVI was significantly associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, demonstrated by a lower e' wave compared to the normal CAVI group (5.9 vs 6.4, p<0.01).
