Ventricular-arterial coupling: changes with ageing and implications across cardiovascular conditions by Mateusz Gaczoł, Marek Rajzer, Wiktoria Wojciechowska

“…Novel measures, such as PWV/GLS ratio, show greater impairment in older adults and provide a comprehensive evaluation of VAC.Conclusions Ageing disrupts VAC through arterial stiffening and reduced heart function, often exacerbated by CVDs. Novel metrics like PWV/GLS may improve VAC assessment, helping clinicians manage age-related cardiovascular issues by identifying risks earlier and guiding treatment to support efficient heart–artery interaction.…”
