Increased arterial stiffness and heart rate variability over time in heart transplant recipients: A cross-sectional study using peripheral arterial tonometry

Increased arterial stiffness and heart rate variability over time in heart transplant recipients: A cross-sectional study using peripheral arterial tonometry

Background: Arterial stiffness represented by Augmentation index (AIx) and heart rate variability (HRV) are established predictors of cardiovascular risk in heart transplant (HTx) recipients. However, the relationship between AIx and HRV in this population remains insufficiently explored, and factor...
