Comparative effectiveness of statins and exercise in high-risk individuals: systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background And Aims: Arterial stiffness (AS) predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and relates to multiple factors. But the best interventions for AS in high-risk CVD groups are unknown. This review focuses on how different interventions affect AS and related indicators.

Comparative effectiveness of exercise interventions on arterial stiffness in individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Previous studies have shown that exercise can improve arterial stiffness (AS). However, it remains unclear which type of exercise is most effective for managing AS, particularly in individuals at high risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This review aims to evaluate the effects of various exercises on AS and related variables in individuals at high risk for CVD.
