- •
CAVI is based on the theory of stiffness parameter 尾 which is independent of BP.
- •
We examine the correlation between CAVI and regional 尾, PWV in the thoracic aortas.
- •
CAVI correlated with age, regional 尾 and PWV in the thoracic aortas.
- •
Excluding age, CAVI only correlated with regional 尾 in the ascending thoracic aorta.
- •
CAVI has a potential role in evaluating integrated arterial stiffness including that of central.
