Overview

CAVI may enable BP-independent stiffness assessment in CVD patients; leaves open its added prognostic value versus PWV.

Structured PICO

Does the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) accurately assess arterial stiffness and predict prognosis in patients with cardiovascular disease?

P
Population
Patients with or at risk for cardiovascular disease and arteriosclerosis
I
Intervention
Assessment of arterial stiffness using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI)
C
Comparator
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)
O
Outcome
Detection and severity of arteriosclerosis, and cardiovascular prognosissurrogate

CAVI is a useful, blood pressure-independent noninvasive tool for assessing arterial stiffness, detecting early arteriosclerosis, and evaluating cardiovascular prognosis.
