Figure 2 Effect of eicosapentaenoic acid on brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and the strain rate of the ascending aorta. A: No difference was noted in baPWV before and after eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) administration; B: In contrast, a statistically significant increase in the strain rate of the ascending aorta was observed after one year of EPA administration. PWV: Pulse wave velocity; NS: Not significant.
