Implication

baPWV exceeding nomogram predictions may flag excess stiffness in CHD; leaves open whether nomograms refine risk stratification.

Structured PICO

Population

11,375 subjects (age 30-79 years) undergoing annual health check-ups in Japan, including a subset of 5,302 subjects without atherosclerotic risk factors except blood pressure used to create the nomogram, and 297 patients with coronary heart disease used for validation.

Outcome

Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) nomogram derived from age and systolic blood pressuresurrogate

A nomogram relating brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity with blood pressure and age can help identify patients whose arterial stiffness exceeds what is expected for their blood pressure, indicating higher atherosclerotic risk.

Limitations

High blood pressure in the absence of other atherosclerotic risk factors may affect vascular structure and function
Wide range of systolic blood pressure in older subjects may have affected the accuracy of the estimated value obtained by applying the age-derived nomogram to subjects with a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or more
