Why the study?
Do non-invasive vascular function tests predict cardiovascular events and decline in kidney function in patients with at least 2 cardiovascular risk factors?
Do non-invasive vascular function tests predict cardiovascular events and decline in kidney function in patients with at least 2 cardiovascular risk factors?
Non-invasive vascular function tests, particularly ABI and baPWV, provide incremental prognostic value for predicting cardiovascular events and kidney function decline in high-risk patients.
Vascular function tests may aid risk stratification in high-risk patients; leaves open their added value over standard scores in prospective studies.
