Key result
Higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was significantly associated with symptomatic cerebral infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes, with an odds ratio of 2.53 for the highest versus lowest tertile.

Elevated brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity may flag higher cerebral infarction risk in type 2 diabetes; hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.
Ogawa et al. (2003) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes (n=1,066). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) vs. Lowest tertile of baPWV was evaluated on Symptomatic cerebral infarction (OR 2.53, 95% CI 1.09-5.86, p=0.030). Higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was significantly associated with symptomatic cerebral infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes, with an odds ratio of 2.53 for the highest versus lowest tertile.
