Overview
The Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) represents the extent of arterial stiffness, an increase in CAVI score reflects a progression of coronary artery disease. The biological age of a patient’s arteries should correspond to their actual age. If this is not the case, and biological age is overestimated, the probability of cardiovascular disease is increased.
Keywords:
CAVI index – arterial stiffness – cardiovascular diseases – blood pressure– arteriosclerosis
