Absent atherosclerotic risk factors are associated with carotid stiffening quantified with ultrafast ultrasound imaging

Objectives To evaluate carotid stiffening in participants without conventional cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) by using ultrafast pulse wave velocity (ufPWV). Methods The present study enrolled 517 participants without conventional CVRFs (CVRF-Free total population). Subjects in this population...

Description
Summary:Objectives To evaluate carotid stiffening in participants without conventional cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) by using ultrafast pulse wave velocity (ufPWV). Methods The present study enrolled 517 participants without conventional CVRFs (CVRF-Free total population). Subjects in this population were defined as current non-smokers with untreated blood pressure
