Sex-specific associations of measures of aortic stiffness and hemodynamic load with RWT. In unadjusted analyses, all measures of aortic stiffness and load were associated with higher RWT in women, but not in men. Abbreviations: AIx, augmentation index; BSA, body surface area; cfPWV, carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity; PAC, proximal aortic compliance; RWT, relative wall thickness; SVR, systemic vascular resistance; Z c, characteristic impedance of the aorta.
