Structured PICO

Population

11,092 subjects with a wide age range (discussed from the referenced study by The Reference Values for Arterial Stiffness Collaboration)

Intervention

Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) measurement

Limitations

Exclusion of patients with diabetes, treated hypertension, or hypercholesterolaemia in the referenced study
Lack of sufficient detail on differences between centers and methodologies
Reliance on mathematical formulae for conversion between methods without current measurement confirmation

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Establishing normal and reference values for cfPWV is a crucial step toward its routine clinical use for cardiovascular risk stratification, though methodological standardization is still required.
