Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI)
Brief summary
This study aimed to evaluate the role of the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in evaluating arterial stiffness changes, the degree of atherosclerosis in patients with hypertension after 1 year of treatment and analysis the correlation between CAVI and cardiovascular risk factors.
Interventions
Patients who have been diagnosed with primary hypertension and meet the conditions of the study will receive outpatient treatment
