Correlation of pulse wave velocity with left ventricular mass in patients with hypertension once blood pressure has been normalized

Vascular stiffness has been proposed as a simple method to assess arterial loading conditions of the heart which induce left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). There is some controversy as to whether the relationship of vascular stiffness to LVH is independent of blood pressure, and which measurement of...
