Systemic inflammatory conditions are associated with an increased risk of
cardiovascular disease (CVD). How exactly inflammation leads to this is not

prognosis of CVD is convincing. Despite recent technological advances for the
measurement of vascular ageing, unmet needs remain which currently limit the
assessment of vascul... hiện toàn bộ
