An editorial is presented on growing interest regarding the link between arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk in this area of research was the publication in 2006 of an expert consensus document on methodological issues and clinical applications of arterial stiffness. Topics include the major vessel of interest when determining regional arterial stiffness and aortic pulse wave velocity, and the increased aortic stiffness was considered as a measure of subclinical target organ damage.
