Overview

CAVI may aid stiffness assessment without BP dependence; leaves open its role in guiding therapy pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

I
Intervention
Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) measurement

CAVI offers a blood pressure-independent, reproducible alternative to pulse wave velocity for assessing global arterial stiffness.
