Why the study?
Does a high brachial-ankle elasticity index (baEI) predict an increased risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality?
Does a high brachial-ankle elasticity index (baEI) predict an increased risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality?
Higher brachial-ankle elasticity index (pulse wave velocity) is a significant predictor of total cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High baEI signals nearly threefold CV risk elevation; reinforces arterial stiffness as prognostic marker while leaving therapeutic use open.
Vlachopoulos et al. (2012) studied this question.
