Is arterial stiffness measured as pulse wave velocity highly correlated with coronary atherosclerosis in asymptomatic patients?

This non-invasive technique can assist in the early detection of cardiovascular disease and should be included in community screening programs.
Maternal periodontal disease may induce insulin resistance and reduce IST in adult offspring, but such alterations are not attributable to low birth weight.
