Abstract

1 min read

In our prospective investigation of a large community-based sample of middle-aged to elderly individuals, greater aortic stiffness (reflected by higher iCFPWV) was associated with increased risk of HF. Future studies may investigate the impact of modifying aortic stiffness in reducing the community burden of HF.
