【 摘 要 】

Aim. To estimate the possibility of using arterial wall stiffness (AWS) parameters as predictors for carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques (CAAPs) in patients with abdominal obesity (AO). Subjects and methods. A total of 132 patients (72% men; mean age, 45.0±5.3 years) with normal blood pressure (BP) and AO, and no cardiovascular diseases (CVD) at a SCORE risk of
