PWV may independently predict mortality across ethnic groups; leaves open its added prognostic value beyond standard risk factors.
Objective:To test the hypothesis that central aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) as a measure of aortic compliance or distensibility, might be an independent risk factor for mortality, in African-Caribbean, Indian sub-continent (South Asian) and European origin people in Britain.
