The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) has been established as a stiffness indicator from thoracic aorta to tibial arteries. To better understand physiological regulatory factors for the arterial stiffness, we assessed effects of angiotensin II and adrenaline on the CAVI in anesthetized rabbits. A h...
