Why the study?
Large artery properties, especially arterial wall stiffness, are important predictors of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hypertensive patients and other populations, but their characteristics and assessment methods require summarization.
This review summarizes the significance and examination options for large artery stiffness, a key predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hypertension.
Arterial stiffness measurement is now guideline-endorsed; leaves open whether routine use improves outcomes in hypertension or other populations.
