Advanced glycation end product associated skin autofluorescence: A mirror of vascular function?

► Strong correlation of the AGE autofluorescence from vascular collagen with age. ► Correlation of glycated HbA1c and blood glucose levels with the amount of PDCF. ► SAF and aPWV are strong predictors of vascular modifications in CHD. ► SAF could be an interesting surrogate parameter for clinical outcome in CHD.
