Abstract

Results of PP and AASI measurements performed during a 24H AMBP recording and a 3 min posture test are not superimposable, but gave complementary information, in a population with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Our proof-of-concept study does not support the use of AASI as a cardiovascular risk marker when calculated during a short posture test.
