摘要

Although brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is a non-invasive method of detecting arteriosclerosis, it is affected by changes in blood pressure (BP). Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new method for estimating arteriosclerosis, and it has been reported to be less influenced by BP. We investigated the influence of BP changes on CAVI and the correlation of CAVI to clinical factors and carotid arteriosclerosis.
