Short stature is associated with higher pulse wave velocity in subjects without overt cardiovascular disease

Short stature is reportedly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the mechanism underlying this intriguing epidemiological finding is unclear. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), a marker of vascular stiffness, is a predictor of future CVD. Therefore, PWV may be affected by height even befor...
