Key result
Carotid-radial pulse wave velocity positively correlated with proximal coronary arterial plaque volume (r = 0.47, P = 0.008).
Why the study?
Does non-invasive pulse wave velocity correlate with coronary artery plaque volume in patients undergoing elective coronary angiography?
Observational (n=35)
No

Effect estimate: r = 0.47
p-value: p=0.008
Carotid-radial pulse wave velocity correlates with coronary artery plaque volume, suggesting it may be a useful non-invasive surrogate marker for coronary atherosclerosis.

Suggests PWV may serve as non-invasive surrogate for coronary plaque; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
McLeod et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Coronary atherosclerosis (n=35). Carotid-radial pulse wave velocity was evaluated on Correlation between proximal coronary arterial plaque volume and carotid-radial pulse wave velocity (r = 0.47, p=0.008). Carotid-radial pulse wave velocity positively correlated with proximal coronary arterial plaque volume (r = 0.47, P = 0.008).
