The relationship between different severity of COVID-19 pneumonia and arterial stiffness based on artificial intelligence analysis
As the severity of pneumonia infection increased in COVID-19 patients, vascular endothelial function was impaired, leading to increased arterial stiffness. The AVI was associated with the highest percentage of lobe infection, and the severity of pneumonia was identified as an independent risk factor for increased arterial stiffness. Worsening arterial stiffness poses an increased risk of death in COVID-19 patients.
