Ostberg J , Donald A , Storry C , Lloyd N , McCarthy C , Halcox J , Conway G

IntroductionCardiovascular disease, which may be structural or ischaemic, is the major cause of morbidity and mortality for women with Turner Syndrome (TS). This study investigated arterial augmentation index (AI%) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) as measures of arterial stiffness in adults with TS. A more positive AI% and greater PWV indicate increased arterial stiffness.Method66 women with TS and 8 normal wome...
