Elevated Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity, a Marker of Arterial Stiffness, Predicts Cardiovascular Events in Well-Functioning Older Adults

Structured PICO

Does elevated aortic pulse wave velocity predict cardiovascular mortality, CHD, and stroke in generally healthy, community-dwelling older adults?

Population

Generally healthy, community-dwelling older adults

Intervention

Elevated aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV)

Outcome

Cardiovascular mortality, coronary heart disease (CHD), and strokehard clinical

Elevated aortic pulse wave velocity serves as a predictive marker for cardiovascular mortality, CHD, and stroke in healthy older adults.

Abstract

Among generally healthy, community-dwelling older adults, aPWV, a marker of arterial stiffness, is associated with higher CV mortality, CHD, and stroke.
