Implication

May support targeted CVD risk assessment with arch PWV in middle age; leaves open age-specific utility and need for validation.

Structured PICO

Does aortic arch pulse wave velocity assessed by magnetic resonance imaging predict incident cardiovascular events in a multiethnic population free of overt CVD?

P
Population
3527 participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) free of overt CVD, mean age 62±10 years, 47% men.
I
Intervention
Aortic arch pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement using magnetic resonance imaging at baseline
O
Outcome
Incident CVD (composite of coronary heart disease, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or heart failure) at 10-year follow-upcomposite

Aortic arch PWV assessed by MRI is a significant predictor of incident CVD events in middle-aged individuals (45-54 years) but not in older individuals.
