Figure 1. Blood pressure and arterial stiffness in RA and AS patients and in the control group. A. Blood pressure and mean arterial pressure (mmHg); B. Central blood pressure and central pulse pressure (mmHg); C. Pulse wave velocity (m/s); D. Aortic pulse wave augmentation (AG); E. AIx augmentation indexes. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups after age and sex standardization (p > .05).
