RELATION BETWEEN CARDIO-ANKLE VASCULAR INDEX AND CORONARY ARTERY CALCIFICATION OR STENOSIS IN METABOLIC SYNDROME SUBJECTS

Arterial stiffness assessed by cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is commonly used as a surrogate marker of subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of study is to demonstrate the association of CAVI and coronary artery calcification (CAC) or coronary stenosis in the asymptomatic metabolic syndrome (MS
