Many methods have been designed to assess arterial stiffness. Among them, pulse wave
velocity (PWV) 1-7), augmentation index8), stiffness parameter β9, 10), and carotid-femoral …

Arterial stiffness is recognized mainly as an indicator of arteriosclerosis and a predictor of
cardiovascular events. Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), which reflects arterial stiffness …

Arterial stiffness increases with age, as well as in various pathological states, including
obesity, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and dyslipidemia, and it has important consequences …

Arterial stiffness is often assessed in clinical medicine, because it is not only an important
factor in the pathophysiology of blood circulation but also a marker for the diagnosis and the …

The Role of a Novel Arterial Stiffness Parameter, Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI), as a
Surrogate Marker for Cardiovascular D Page 1 155 Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis …

Arterial stiffness has been known to be a surrogate marker of arteriosclerosis, and also of
vascular function. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) had been the most popular index and was …

Brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and the cardio‐ankle vascular index (CAVI)
are both used to evaluate arterial stiffness. The aim of the present study is to determine …

Arteriosclerosis is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases. One of the difficulties in
controlling those diseases is the lack of a suitable indicator of arteriosclerosis or arterial …

Background: Cardio–ankle vascular index (CAVI) has been increasingly used as an index
for arterial stiffness. However, the degree of longitudinal changes and factors affecting these …

Aims: Arterial stiffness is known to be an important surrogate marker for atherosclerosis and
predictor of peripheral vascular and cardiovascular (CV) disease. Whether high cardio-ankle …
