Airway obstruction and gender affect arterial stiffness in children with cystic fibrosis
Female cwCF have more impaired hemodynamics, less maximal exercise capacity, and increased arterial stiffness, indicating a higher cardiovascular risk compared to male cwCF. FEV1 and gender affect arterial stiffness in cwCF. Further studies are necessary to uncover the underlying factors for arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction and their clinical effects in cwCF.
