Higher baPWV associated with CAC progression; hypothesis-generating for arterial stiffness monitoring.
Additional file 1: Table 1. The Risk of Progression of Coronary Calcium Score According to Baseline Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity: Odds Ratio (95 % Confidence Interval) of Difference [√CAC(follow-up) − √CAC(baseline)] >2.5 by Pulse Wave Velocity quartiles—The SQRT Analysis. Table 2. The Risk of Progression of Coronary Calcium Score According to Pulse Pressure and Brachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity: Odds ratio (95 % Confidence Interval) of Difference [√CAC(follow-up) − √CAC(baseline)] >2.5 by Pulse Wave Velocity 50 % and pulse pressure 50 %—The SQRT Analysis. Table 3. The Risk of Progression of Coronary Calcium Score According to Baseline Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity: Odds ratio (95 % Confidence Interval) of Coronary Calcium Score Change change >=10 by Pulse Wave Velocity Quartiles.
