Does estimated carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity predict major cardiovascular events similarly to measured carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity?
Estimated carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity has similar predictive value for major cardiovascular events as measured cfPWV and is independent of traditional risk scores.
ePWV predicted major cardiovascular events independently of SCORE, FRS and cfPWV indicating that these traditional risk scores have underestimated the complicated impact of age and blood pressure on arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk.
