Can .GAMMA.-Glutamyltransferase be an Additional Marker of Arterial Stiffness?

Background It has been recently suggested that γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is independently associated with cardiovascular mortality and atherosclerosis, so the present study evaluated whether GGT is an additional marker of arterial stiffness, independent of other risk factors, in screening cohorts. Methods and Results The 1,387 individuals (741 men, 646 women) who underwent brachial - ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) measurement had their...
