Calls for targeted research on vascular parameters in minorities; does not yet support routine clinical use.
Arterial stiffness and wave reflection parameters may help explain the excess cardiovascular risk observed in ethnic minority groups that is not fully accounted for by traditional risk factors.
Faconti et al. (2016) conducted a review in Cardiovascular risk in ethnic minorities. Arterial stiffness and wave reflection was evaluated. Arterial stiffening and wave reflection parameters may explain excess cardiovascular risk in ethnic minorities, though current data are limited and heterogeneous.
