Diastolic Carotid Artery Longitudinal Wall Motion Is Sensitive to Both Aging and Coronary Artery Disease Status Independent of Arterial Stiffness
Abstract
We investigated the ability of systolic and diastolic carotid artery longitudinal wall motion (CALM) to delineate expected differences in arterial health in individuals representing a range of both age and health status. We recruited 161 younger healthy adults (aged 24 ± 5 y), 51 older healthy adults (aged 70 ± 5 y) and 14 adults with coronary artery disease (aged 67 ± 8 y) for resting assessment of CALM and arterial stiffness. All CALM …
