Pulse Wave Velocity and Autonomic Modulation Across Physical Activity Levels in Youth: Evidence From the Epi-Family Health Study.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cardiovascular risk factors originating in childhood and adolescence may persist into adulthood and increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Arterial stiffness, measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV), and impaired cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM) are early indicators of cardiovascular...
