Stiffer main arteries linked to higher estimated stress in people

An observational analysis of scans from 57,434 UK Biobank participants linked stiffness, as well as artery size, to estimated stress within the aorta's wall.An observational analysis of scans from 57,434 UK Biobank participants linked stiffness, as well as artery size, to estimated stress within the aorta's wall.
