Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic carotid geometric phenotypes (h-CGP) are predictors of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). While arterial aging is hypothesized as a contributor to this associated risk, the association of CGPs with chronological age is not clear. In this manuscript we examine whether hypertrophic CGPs represent accelerated biological, rather than chronological, aging by examining their association with...
