Implication

pOpscore may offer blood pressure-independent vascular aging assessment in primary care; leaves open prospective outcome validation.

Structured PICO

Population

300 patients in primary care and occupational practice. A subgroup of 147 patients (93 men, 54 women) with 0 or 1 conventional risk factor and without known peripheral arterial occlusive disease (POAD) or vasodilator therapy was analyzed.

Intervention

Measurement of toe and finger pulse wave transit time (PWTT) using the pOpmetre device after 5 minutes of supine rest

Outcome

Relationship between ageing and indices based on pulse wave transit time (PWTT) between the toe and the finger (DTF, PWVtf, and pOpscore)surrogate

The pOpscore derived from toe and finger pulse wave transit time is a promising, blood pressure-independent marker of vascular aging suitable for primary care.
