Flow chart showing the total number of measurements taken for macro- and micro-vascular values. CIMT = carotid artery intima-media thickness, PWV = the pulse-wave velocity, DC = carotid distensibility, CC = compliance coefficients, Siβ = the stiffness β index, YEM = Young’s Elastic Modulus, BP = blood pressure, CRAE = central retinal arteriole equivalent, CRVE = central retinal venular equivalent.
