Why the study?
Does Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (APWV) predict cardiovascular outcomes above and beyond traditional risk factors in a general population?
Does Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (APWV) predict cardiovascular outcomes above and beyond traditional risk factors in a general population?
Aortic pulse wave velocity provides incremental prognostic value for cardiovascular outcomes beyond traditional risk factors.

May refine risk stratification beyond traditional factors; leaves open whether measurement alters management or outcomes.
Hansen et al. (2006) studied this question.
