Characteristic disease associations of CSFP.

Salient associations of CSFP
Chronically elevated resting microvascular endothelial tone [14]
High incidence of metabolic syndrome [15]
Normal large artery stiffness between acute episodes [16]
Prolonged P-wave duration
Increased P-wave dispersion [17]
Increased aortic pulse pressure, fractional pulse pressure, and pulsatility index (parameters of aortic elasticity indicating increased aortic stiffness)
Impaired coronary flow reserve
