Arterial stiffness in adults with steady-state bronchiectasis: association with clinical indices and disease severity

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease are common co-morbidities in bronchiectasis and contribute substantially to disease burden and mortality. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), a measure of arterial stiffness, has a strong predictive value for cardiovascular event. We hypothesized that baPWV...
