Aortic pulse wave velocity improves cardiovascular event prediction: an individual participant meta-analysis of prospective observational data from 17,635 subjects.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to determine whether aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) improves prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events beyond conventional risk factors. BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that aPWV may be a useful risk factor for predicting CVD, but they have been underpowered to examine whether this is true for different subgroups. METHODS We undertook a...
متن کاملAortic pulse wave velocity, an independent marker of cardiovascular risk.
Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), a classical index of aortic stiffness, may be easily measured in humans using non invasive ultrasound methods of high reproducibility. Recent epidemiological studies have shown that, independently of confounding factors as age, blood pressure and cardiac mass, aortic PWV is a predictor of cardiovascular (CV) mortality in populations of hypertensive subjects, wh...
متن کاملCentral aortic pressure influences pulse wave velocity.
Central Aortic Pressure Influences Pulse Wave Velocity To the Editor: The study reported by Lantelme and colleagues1 suggests that increasing heart rate is independently associated with higher aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV). We are concerned that the authors of this study have neither addressed the impact of central aortic pressure changes on PWV nor the presence of potential bias in their st...
متن کاملPulse Wave Analysis and Pulse Wave Velocity
momanometer that provides arterial pressures (brachial systolic and diastolic pressure) is coming under question. The concerns extend well beyond the familiar issue of “white coat” hypertension, home and 24-h blood pressure recordings, and the phase-out of mercury based instruments. These concerns relate to the inaccuracy of all cuff devices for measuring pressure within the brachial artery, th...
متن کاملThe Impact of the Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity on the Cardiovascular Outcomes of Hemodialysis Patients
The aims of our study were to identify the risk factors for an increased aortic pulse wave velocity (AoPWV) and to assess the impact of the AoPWV on the cerebro-cardiovascular (CV) outcomes of hemodialysis (HD) patients. Seventy two HD patients were included, and the AoPWV, the echocardiography and the biochemical parameters were measured. After dividing the patients into tertiles according to ...
