Description
Arterial stiffness readings shift with posture and mental effort, in a 2026 study by Barbora Czippelova and colleagues. Twenty-three healthy adults averaging 22.3 years underwent tilt sequences and a mental arithmetic task while the Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index was recorded with pressure and gravity corrections.
The adjusted index rose progressively as tilt went from head-down to 40° head-up, exceeding both lying flat and head-down values. Heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac output, and vascular resistance were tracked alongside to explain the shifts. Since stiffness measures are meant to reflect vessel walls, knowing how posture and stress bend them matters for honest interpretation.
