The relationship of age with regional aortic stiffness and diameter

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of age on regional aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV). aPWV is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk and increases exponentially with age. However, it is unclear whether such changes occur uniformly along the length of the aorta or vary...
