Changes in cardiac function but not structure in healthy subjects with premature vascular ageing

Purpose: Changes in myocardial and arterial wall properties/function are consistently reported in patients with established cardiovascular disease1. However, few studies have reported these changes in early subclinical disease. The aim of the present study was to examine cardiac and vascular changes in early subclinical disease and to determine whether these changes occur in parallel.
