Arterial Stiffness and Cardiovascular Risk in Hypertension

Arterial stiffness, a leading marker of risk in hypertension, can be measured at material or structural levels, with the latter combining effects of the geometry and composition of the wall, including intramural organization. Numerous studies have shown that structural stiffness predicts outcomes in...
