Why the study?

Does carotid-radial pulse wave velocity predict the severity of coronary artery disease in symptomatic patients undergoing coronary angiography?

Population

106 consecutive, symptomatic patients undergoing coronary angiography, mean age 57.0±10.5 years, 67% male.

Comparison

Measurement of carotid-radial pulse wave… vs Patients with normal coronary arteries or single…

Design

Cross-sectional

Implication

Carotid-radial PWV was independently associated with CAD extent; hypothesis-generating for non-invasive prediction, needs prospective validation.

Does carotid-radial pulse wave velocity predict the severity of coronary artery disease in symptomatic patients undergoing coronary angiography?

Population

106 consecutive, symptomatic patients undergoing coronary angiography, mean age 57.0±10.5 years, 67% male.

Intervention

Measurement of carotid-radial pulse wave velocity (PWV) to assess arterial stiffness

Comparator

Patients with normal coronary arteries or single vessel coronary artery disease

Outcome

Severity and extent of coronary artery disease (defined by single or multiple vessel disease with ≥50% narrowing, AHA/ACC lesion type, and a modified stenosis scoring system)surrogate

Carotid-radial pulse wave velocity is an independent, non-invasive predictor of angiographic coronary artery disease severity in symptomatic patients.
