Higher Physical Activity Is Associated with Improved Ventricular–Arterial Coupling: Assessment Using the cfPWV/GLS Ratio in Primary Care—A Pilot Study

Higher Physical Activity Is Associated with Improved Ventricular–Arterial Coupling: Assessment Using the cfPWV/GLS Ratio in Primary Care—A Pilot Study

Background: Age-related vascular stiffening increases cardiovascular risk by altering ventricular–arterial coupling (VAC). Physical activity, a modifiable factor, may improve cardiovascular health. This pilot study evaluated the relationship between physical activity evaluation and VAC, measured by...
