Correlation Between Carotid‐Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity Among Hypertensive Patients

Variables Correlation Coefficient (β) Regression Coefficient (95% Confidence Interval) P Value
Age, y 0.268 0.071 (0.023–0.119) .004a
HDL‐C, mg/dL −0.234 0.050 (−0.086 to −0.013) .008a
Creatinine, mg/dL 0.207 1.645 (0.254–3.036) .021a
