Objective. Physical activity (PA) has been associated with reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, improvements in conventional risk factors do not explain the full benefit of PA on CVD risk. Therefore, we examined the association between PA and central haemodynamics to provide new insight into...

Background. Arterial stiffness is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is considered as the ‘gold standard’ measurement method. However cfPWV does not assess the stiffness of the proximal aorta and its sensitivity at higher...

Relations between central versus brachial blood pressure and major cardiovascular disease (CVD) events remain controversial. Central measures derived using radial tonometry and a generalized transfer function as implemented using the SphygmoCor device may better predict CVD risk compared to central pressures...
