Arterial stiffness and 24Â h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in young healthy volunteers: The early vascular ageing Aristotle University Thessaloniki Study (EVA-ARIS Study)

In conclusions, increased 24 h systolic BP variability is associated with arterial stiffness in young healthy volunteers. Pulse wave velocity in a young healthy population is useful to identify determinants of premature arterial stiffness, thus further elucidating the aspects of early vascular ageing.
