In our study, echocardiographic aortic measurements showing the vessel wall were correlated with pulse wave velocity measurements. Echocardiographic evaluation should be included in the routine follow-up of patients because pulse wave velocity measurement devices are not available in all centres, echocardiography is available in many centres, it is easily applicable, and it facilitates the follow-up of patients.
