Augmentation Index Derived from Peripheral Arterial Tonometry Correlates with Cardiovascular Risk Factors

Background. Augmentation index (AIx) is traditionally obtained from pressure waveforms via arterial applanation tonometry. We sought to evaluate the association between AIx obtained from peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) with cardiovascular risk factors (CRF) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Met...
