Brief description/objective

Non-invasive assessment of arterial stiffness in high-risk profile patients indicates that elevated central augmentation indeces are associated with PAD and AAA. To our knowledge, this is the first comparison of cAIx measurements for PAD and AAA patients revealing significantly higher cAIx for patients with obstructive arterial disease
