Arterial Stiffness Assessed by Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Arterial stiffness is an age-related disorder. In the medial layer of arteries, mechanical fracture due to fatigue failure for the pulsatile wall strain causes medial degeneration vascular remodeling.
