Brachial-ankle elasticity index (baEI; also known as brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity) has
been proposed as a surrogate end point for cardiovascular disease. We performed a meta …

An individual participant data meta-analysis was conducted in the data of 14 673 Japanese
participants without a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) to examine the association of …

Background: The populations of many developed countries are becoming progressively
older. In aged societies, assessment of total vascular risk is critically important, because old …

Brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is a relatively new non-invasive measure of
arterial stiffness obtained using an automated system. We assessed the relationship …

Brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is a new tool for measuring arterial stiffness.
The prognostic significance of this measure, however, is not fully established. We initiated a …

Objective—The ankle–brachial index is the ratio of the ankle and the brachial systolic blood
pressure and is used to assess individuals with peripheral arterial disease. An ankle …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the strength and consistency with which a low ankle brachial
pressure index (ABI), measured in the general population, is associated with an increased …

Objective: We examined the relationship between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and
the development of cardiovascular disease in a general Japanese population. Methods: A …

Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is a non-invasive measure of arterial stiffness
obtained using an automated system. Although baPWVs have been widely used as a non …

Background and aims Studies on high ankle-brachial index (ABI) to predict mortality risk
have yielded conflicting results. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association …
