Aortic Augmentation Index in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease

Aortic augmentation index (AIx) is used to investigate arterial stiffness. The authors tested the hypothesis that patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) demonstrate a higher AIx and also evaluated several related factors. In 97 patients with PAD, identified by ankle‐brachial pressure index...

Description
Summary:Aortic augmentation index (AIx) is used to investigate arterial stiffness. The authors tested the hypothesis that patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) demonstrate a higher AIx and also evaluated several related factors. In 97 patients with PAD, identified by ankle‐brachial pressure index (ABPI ≤0.9), and 97 controls (ABPI ≥0.91
