Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) measured by a new device: protocol for a validation study
BMJ Open, 2020 Introduction Cardio‐ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new marker of arterial stiffness (AS) that can assess vascular wall stiffness in the aorta, femoral artery and tibial artery. CAVI is less affected by blood pressure at the time of measurement than the
