Why the study?
Does aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) correlate with cardiovascular risk factors and disease progression in patients with diabetes, familial hypercholesterolemia, or chronic renal failure?
Does aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) correlate with cardiovascular risk factors and disease progression in patients with diabetes, familial hypercholesterolemia, or chronic renal failure?
Aortic pulse wave velocity is a useful non-invasive marker for atherosclerosis progression that correlates with various risk factors in high-risk metabolic and renal populations.

PWV associations may aid progression monitoring in diabetes and dialysis; hypothesis-generating for outcome prediction or intervention trials.
Murano et al. (1988) studied this question.
