Abstract excerpt
We have assessed the functional correlates of common carotid artery (CCA) arterial geometry, derived by combining a measure of vascular mass (VM) with the wall-to-lumen (W/L) ratio in both untreated hypertensive (HT) and normotensive (NT; blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg) subjects of a broad age span (30 to 79 years) of both genders. Brachial systolic, diastolic, and pulse (SBP, DBP, PP) pressures; CCA SBP and PP;...
