“…As a consequence of the rise in gAC, the return of reflected waves of lesser magnitude from peripheral reflection sites to the aorta was delayed that, in turn, reduced systolic duration of reflected waves, augmentation index, central systolic pressure, LV wasted energy due to reflected waves, and increased brachial‐central pulse pressure. For several wave reflection indices, those derived from CAPW as a surrogate for AOPW versus RAPW using a generalized transfer function registered greater gestational increases of arterial compliance. …”

“…Furthermore, fetuin-A levels were significantly increased in the metabolically abnormal (MA) group compared to the metabolically healthy (MH) group in subjects without obesity (717.1 [632.1, 769.7] vs. 599.5 [502.0, 709.3], P = 0.001) and subjects with obesity (704.1 [595.5-880.9] vs. 612.2 [547.9-802.1], P = 0.016). In addition, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), which reflects arterial stiffness, was higher in MA individuals compared to MH individuals. …”
