Why the study?
Does aortic pulse wave velocity correlate with the angiographic severity of coronary artery disease in patients with acute STEMI?
Does aortic pulse wave velocity correlate with the angiographic severity of coronary artery disease in patients with acute STEMI?
Aortic pulse wave velocity is significantly associated with the angiographic extent and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with acute STEMI, suggesting its potential utility as a noninvasive risk stratification tool.
