Ultrasound entropy may be a new non-invasive measure of pre-clinical vascular damage in young hypertensive patients

BACKGROUND: The identification of pre-clinical microvascular damage in hypertension by non-invasive techniques has proved frustrating for clinicians. This proof of concept study investigated whether entropy, a novel summary measure for characterizing blood velocity waveforms, is altered in participa...
