Better vascular function tests in cardiovascular care: learning from evidence and providing improved diagnostics to the patient

Update on Hypertension Research in 2021

“…Importantly, arterial stiffness testing could accurately reflect even such a combination of unfavorable behaviors, and thus vascular function assessment has the potential to reflect a wide spectrum of cardiovascular risk and provide a clinical opportunity for better risk stratification and optimal modification [ 135 ]. We look forward to accumulating and consolidating evidence of vascular function tests and further applying them to actual cardiovascular care [ 136 ].…”
