Association of brain white matter lesions with arterial stiffness assessed by cardio-ankle vascular index. The Beijing Vascular Disease Evaluation STudy (BEST)

Conclusion: Higher arterial stiffness assessed by the cardio-ankle vascular index was associated with the presence of brain white matter lesions. Longitudinal characterization of the observed associations is warranted to assess whether a rterial stiffness predicts brain white matter lesions.
