Correlations between central aortic distensibility and peripheral measures of arterial stiffness. Carotid distensibility was inversely correlated with aortic distensibility with consistent association across a range of levels of aortic distensibility [part (b) (circle)]. However, associations between brachial distensibility and aortic distensibility were weaker and inconsistent across different regions (triangle). (∗∗∗P ≤ 0.001; ∗∗P ≤ 0.01; ∗P < 0.05).
