A Estimated means and 95% CIs for total, structural, and load-dependent changes in carotid artery Peterson elastic modulus (PEM) over 10 years of aging by age groups in n = 2604 MESA participants. Reproduced from [14]. B Unadjusted Kaplan–Meier curves (with 95% CIs) show that cardiovascular disease (CVD)-free survival is greater for MESA participants (n = 5873) with high structural vs high load-dependent stiffness.
