Associations of Renal Augmented Velocity Index with Arterial Stiffness, Carotid Intima –Media Thickness and Blood Pressure, in Comparison with Renal Resistive Index

We examined associations of renal Avi with blood pressure (BP), aortic stiffness and carotid intima –media thickness (IMT), and compared its performance with that of resistive index (RI). One hundred forty-seven volunteers were recruited. Renal Avi had significant positive correlations with systolic BP (r = 0.37, p
