Previous studies have shown that arterial stiffness (AS) was a risk factor for heart failure (HF) in nondiabetic patients. We aimed to analyze this impact in a community-based diabetic population. Our study excluded those who had HF before brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) measurement and i...
