IRIS – Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è il sistema di gestione della ricerca dell’Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca.Il repository BOA è il modulo del sistema dedicato alla raccolta e alla disseminazione della produzione scientifica di Ateneo. Le pubblicazioni sono ricercabili per parola chiave attraverso il box nella barra orizzontale in alto oppure, mediante il pulsante Sfoglia, per "Afferenza", "Autore", "Titolo", "Tipologia" o "Settore scientifico-disciplinare".
IRIS contiene inoltre alcuni moduli dedicati alla registrazione dei progetti e dei contratti, e alla reportistica avanzata per le attività di valutazione della ricerca
EnglishPrevious studies show that cf-PWV can predict cardiovascular events and mortality in both the general population and the patients with various diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease. Current hypertension guidelines recommend the use of cf-PWV for the assessment of arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk. It is of note that brachial-ankle PWV(ba-PWV) has been criticized due to the involvement of muscular arteries and the estimation of wave path from body height instead of real measurement. But ba-PWV is still extensively beingused in China for some reasons. For example, exposure of inguinal region could be ethically unacceptable for a majority of patients. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is 1) to measure the index of arterial stiffness, especially cf-PWV, in a rural population of China; 2) to assess the correlation between different measures of arterial stiffness.
