The Analysis of Arterial Stiffness in Heart Failure Patients in Comparison with Healthy Subjects and Patients with Cardiovascular Risk Factors.

In the HF group (59 patients), PWV demonstrated a positive moderately significant correlation with creatinine ( r = 0.33; p = 0.01), RDW ( r = 0.31; p = 0.02); NT-proBNP ( r = 0.28; p = 0.049), brachial SP ( r = 0.33; p = 0.01), central SP ( r = 0.29; p = 0.02), and a negative moderately significant correlation with eGFR ( r = −0.40; p = 0.002) ( Figure 1 ).
