Cardiovascular (CV) risk factors are associated with abnormalities in vascular function and structure. Arterial distensibility decreases with age and extent of arteriosclerosis. Mediators of arteriosclerosis may affect segments of the vascular tree differently, and information is limited on vascular changes of the brachial artery. Therefore, we explored the effect of multiple CV risk factors on brachial artery distensibility (BrachD).
