Wall-to-lumen ratio

1. Wall-to-lumen ratio is associated with total peripheral resistance in humans (P=0.002).

   “The multivariate analysis indicated that WLR was associated with TPR (P=0.002) independent of age, BMI, gender, antihypertensive treatments, aortic diameter and central SBP.”

1. Hypertension is associated with wall-to-lumen ratio in humans.

   “WLR and TPR were significantly higher and aortic distensibility was significantly lower in hypertensives.”
