Key result
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is a fully automatic, reproducible measure of arterial stiffness associated with advanced atherosclerotic changes and may predict cardiovascular events.

Supports brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity for stiffness assessment; extends aortic PWV data but leaves event prediction open for validation.
Does brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity measurement accurately reflect arterial stiffness and atherosclerotic changes in clinical and subclinical populations?
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is a reproducible, automatic measure of arterial stiffness that correlates with atherosclerotic changes and may predict cardiovascular events.
Munakata et al. (2005) conducted a review in Arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was evaluated. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is a fully automatic, reproducible measure of arterial stiffness associated with advanced atherosclerotic changes and may predict cardiovascular events.
