Why the study?
Is estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) associated with cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality in Chinese individuals?
Is estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) associated with cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality in Chinese individuals?
Estimated pulse wave velocity is an independent predictor of cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality in the Chinese population.

ePWV may aid risk stratification in Chinese adults; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
< 0.01) by 28% (HR:1.28; 95%CI:1.20-1.37) and 10% (HR:1.10; 95%CI:1.07-1.13), respectively. The mean brachial-ankle PWV, measured in 43,208 individuals, was 15.30 ± 3.51 cm/s, with a mean difference of 6.45 m/s (95% limits of agreement:1.24-11.7) to the ePWV. Independently of cardiovascular risk factors, ePWV was associated with CVDs and all-cause mortality in Chinese.
