PWV may aid noninvasive CAD evaluation; leaves open incremental value beyond standard risk factors in prospective studies.
Is aorto-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) an independent risk marker for the presence and severity of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography?
Aorto-femoral pulse wave velocity is an independent marker for both the presence and angiographic severity of coronary artery disease.
