Does aortic pulse-wave velocity predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and glucose intolerance?
Aortic pulse-wave velocity is a powerful independent predictor of mortality in diabetes and glucose intolerance, displacing systolic blood pressure as a prognostic factor.
Cruickshank et al. (2002) studied this question.
