Dependent variable: Carotic IMT: Carotic Intima-media thickness. Independent variables: Age; Gender: (male = 1; female = 0); HR: Heart rate; mbp: beats per minute AASI: Ambulatory arterial stiffness index; PWV: pulse wave velocity. R2: determination coefficient; p: statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).
