Why the study?
Can brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) serve as a screening tool for metabolic syndrome in a community population?
Can brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) serve as a screening tool for metabolic syndrome in a community population?
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity may serve as a potential screening tool for metabolic syndrome, with better diagnostic efficacy observed in younger subjects (40-50 years).
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Modest baPWV discrimination for MetS warrants no screening use now; leaves open prospective validation in community cohorts.
Wang et al. (2015) studied this question.
