Abstract

Objectives Although hypertension has been shown to be one of the most important predictors of reduced arterial elasticity, there is not enough data about aortic elastic properties in patients with prehypertension. Accordingly, the current study was designated to evaluate aortic elastic features in young patients with prehypertension.
