Large artery stiffness predicts ischemic threshold in patients with coronary artery disease.
TLDR
In this article, the authors determined whether large artery stiffness contributes to exercise-induced myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) by measuring arterial compliance, distensibility index, aortic pulse wave velocity, and carotid augmentation index.About:

TL;DR: The CAFE study as mentioned in this paper examined the impact of two different BP lowering-regimens (atenolol±thiazide-based versus amlodipine±perindopril-based) on derived central aortic pressures and hemodynamics.

TL;DR: The role of peripheral (i.e. not related to coronary circulation) noninvasive vascular biomarkers for primary and secondary cardiovascular disease prevention is scrutinized and it is still unclear whether a specific vascular biomarker is overly superior.

TL;DR: Aortic AP predicts adverse outcomes in patients with CAD independently of PP and other risk markers, and both AP and AIx significantly predicted MACE.
