Why the study?
Is CAVI superior to baPWV as an index of arterial stiffness in patients with chest pain syndrome?
Is CAVI superior to baPWV as an index of arterial stiffness in patients with chest pain syndrome?
CAVI appears superior to baPWV as an indicator of arterial stiffness, demonstrating better correlation with echocardiographic diastolic indices, lipid profiles, and the presence of angina pectoris.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May favor CAVI over baPWV for arterial stiffness assessment in chest pain; leaves open clinical utility pending prospective studies.
Takaki et al. (2008) studied this question.
