Expert consensus suggests cardio-ankle index reliably measures arterial stiffness and predicts cardiovascular mortality.
Arterial stiffness measured using carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity is an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality and is recommended as a reference standard. Cardio-ankle index is a simple, wellstandardized, accurate and reproducible method for assessing arterial stiffness, independent of blood pressure level during measurement. The aim of this paper is to analyze and systematize new factual data, as well as develop an expert opinion on the significance of arterial stiffness diagnosis and the use of cardio-ankle index.
