Key result
Arterial stiffness parameters and MACE rates were similar between STEMI and NSTEMI patients at 1 year, while aortic pulse wave velocity independently predicted future MACE.

Does noninvasive assessment of arterial stiffness predict future major cardiovascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Aortic pulse wave velocity is an independent prognostic indicator for future cardiovascular events in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction.
Akkuş et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (STEMI and NSTEMI) (n=94). NSTEMI vs. STEMI was evaluated on Major cardiovascular events (MACE). Arterial stiffness parameters and MACE rates were similar between STEMI and NSTEMI patients at 1 year, while aortic pulse wave velocity independently predicted future MACE.
