Can Ambulatory Blood-Pressure Monitoring Provide Reliable Indices of Arterial Stiffness?

Our data support the value of the AASI as an indirect estimate of AS and as an element in the evaluation of CV risk in hypertensive patients. However, the reproducibility of this index is less, and its predictive value for complications is poorer, than that of QKD100-60, a parameter that we believe is more closely linked to AS.
