Do carotid-femoral and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity exhibit similar associations with cardiovascular disease risk factors and clinical events?
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV)
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)
Associations with cardiovascular disease risk factors and clinical eventssurrogate
Carotid-femoral and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity are comparable indices of arterial stiffness with similar associations to cardiovascular risk.
Collectively, these results indicate that cfPWV and baPWV are indices of arterial stiffness that exhibit similar extent of associations with cardiovascular disease risk factors and clinical events.
