CAVI is increased in patients with AAA. Increased arterial stiffness may be a mechanical link between AAA, coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease or a common mechanism effects the arterial stiffness, coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease and AAA. Therefore, CAVI may be used as a valuable marker for risk stratification for the development of AAA in susceptible patients.
