Aortic pulse wave velocity is a valuable biomarker that improves cardiovascular risk prediction beyond standard risk factors.
Abstract
Higher aortic stiffness assessed by PWV is associated with increased risk for a first cardiovascular event. Aortic PWV improves risk prediction when added to standard risk factors and may represent a valuable biomarker of cardiovascular disease risk in the community.
