baPWV may aid noninvasive vascular assessment in CAD; supports validation but leaves clinical adoption open pending prospective data.
Is noninvasive brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) a valid and reproducible marker for vascular damage in patients with CAD and cardiovascular risk factors?
Noninvasive baPWV is a valid and reproducible method that correlates strongly with invasive aortic PWV and can effectively identify vascular damage in patients with CAD or cardiovascular risk factors.
