The effects of exercise training on arterial stiffness in coronary artery disease patients: a state-of-the-art review.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The BodyMetrix(®) BX-2000 Ultrasound device (ULTRA) shows prowess in being an effective alternative to the expense and technicality of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). However, this technique has not been investigated using a seven-site methodology. SUBJECT/OBJECTIVE:To employ a cross-over design to ...
