Key result
Average aortic pulse wave velocity was significantly higher in patients with confirmed coronary artery disease compared to those without (8.6 vs 5.0 m/sec; P<0.001).
Why the study?
Does aortic pulse wave velocity predict the diagnosis and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with suspected CAD?
Population

Does aortic pulse wave velocity predict the diagnosis and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with suspected CAD?
Absolute Event Rate: 8.6% vs 5%
p-value: p=< 0.001
Aortic pulse wave velocity measured by tonometry is a simple, non-invasive predictor of coronary artery disease presence and severity.
Duman et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (CAD) suspicion (n=103). Coronary artery disease (CAD) vs. No CAD was evaluated on Average aortic pulse wave velocity (AoPWV) (p=< 0.001). Average aortic pulse wave velocity was significantly higher in patients with confirmed coronary artery disease compared to those without (8.6 vs 5.0 m/sec; P<0.001).
