Abstract

Background and Aims : Hyperlipidemia is an important cardiometabolic risk factor. Brachial pulse wave velocity (bPWV) predicts arterial stiffness (AS) and can detect subclinical atherosclerosis with accuracy, however, it's a high-cost tool. Neck-to-height ratio (NHR), inexpensive and easily obtainable anthropometric measurements, may be associated with AS. Aims: To evaluate the relationship between NHR, bPWV, and cardiometabolic parameters in treated hyperlipidemic patients.
