Key result
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity ≥17.00 m/s independently predicted post-hospitalization cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (HR 5.47; 95% CI 2.69-11.09).
Why the study?
Does brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) predict future cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Population
215 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
Design

May enhance post-ACS risk stratification; leaves open whether modifying baPWV reduces events.

Does brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) predict future cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Effect estimate: HR 5.47 (95% CI 2.69-11.09)
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is a strong, independent predictor of future cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Tomiyama et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in Acute coronary syndrome (n=215). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) vs. baPWV below cut-off was evaluated on Post-hospitalization cardiovascular events (HR 5.47, 95% CI 2.69-11.09). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity ≥17.00 m/s independently predicted post-hospitalization cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (HR 5.47; 95% CI 2.69-11.09).
