Our results indicate a consistent pattern of inverse relationships between arterial stiffness, pulsatility, and waveforms with fatigue independent of disability, body mass index, age, and sex in MS. This could be explained by lower sympathetic activation linking higher arterial stiffness, pulsatility and augmentation pressure with lower fatigue in persons with MS.
