Both age and stiffness of arterial wall have long been established as cardiovascular risk factors. Age has also been proven to be correlated to stiffness of arterial wall. Measurement of Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) gives a strong evidence in the determination of stiffness of arterial wall. This study...
