The association between pulse wave velocity and cognitive function: the Sydney Memory and Ageing Study.
<h4>Objectives</h4>Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a measure of arterial stiffness and its increase with ageing has been associated with damage to cerebral microvessels and cognitive impairment. This study examined the relationship between carotid-femoral PWV and specific domains of cogniti...
