Structured PICO

Do carotid-femoral and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity exhibit similar associations with cardiovascular disease risk factors and clinical events?

I
Intervention
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV)
C
Comparator
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)
O
Outcome
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.

Abstract

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.
