  		Figure 1. The left-right differences (mean ± standard error of mean) in the vascular indices (HAPWV = heart-ankle pulse wave velocity; BAPWV = brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; Art-Stiff % = arterial stiffness percentage) among normal controls (N), patients with anxiety (A) and cardiovascular disease (C). There were significantly higher left-right differences in the patient groups compared with normal controls. HAPWV and BAPWV are shown in cm/second.
