Why the study?
Does estimated carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity predict major cardiovascular events similarly to measured carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity?
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.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support ePWV for risk stratification independent of scores; leaves open prospective validation versus measured cfPWV.
Greve et al. (2016) studied this question.
