Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Pulse Wave Velocity carotid-femoral (PWV-CF)

    The speed of pulse wave propagation between carotid-femoral sites

    8 weeks

  • Pulse Wave Velocity carotid-femoral (PWV-CR)

    The speed of pulse wave propagation between carotid-radial sites

    8 weeks

  • Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT)

    The thickness of the carotid intima and media

    8 weeks

  • Distensibility Coefficient (DC)

    The relative change in luminal area during systole for a given pressure change (pulsed pressure), will be calculated assuming the lumen to be circular.

    8 weeks

  • Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs)

    A group of endogenous heterogeneous compounds that are constantly formed under physiological conditions with prooxidant and cytotoxic properties. Measurements are performed by fluorescence spectroscopy technique.

    8 weeks
