The mechanisms leading to the development of detrusor overactivity (DO) are still relatively poorly understood, however, animal studies suggest that atherosclerosis and reduced blood flow to the bladder may be one etiological pathway. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate signs of atherosclerosis in a large cohort of women with detrusor overactivity, using two precise measures of atherosclerotic vascular impairment, Ankle Brachial Index (ABI), and Brachial—ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV).
