Objectives: The purpose of this study was to calculate robust quantitative estimates of the
predictive value of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) for future cardiovascular (CV) events …

Background—Various measures of arterial stiffness and wave reflection have been
proposed as cardiovascular risk markers. Prior studies have not assessed relations of a …

Background—Few population studies addressed the prognostic significance of aortic pulse
wave velocity (APWV) above and beyond other cardiovascular risk factors. Methods and …

Arterial stiffness has been shown to be a potent and independent predictor of cardiovascular
risk. In this review, we outline methods for the measurement of arterial stiffness, describe the …

Over the last decade, there has been a dramatic resurgence of interest in large-artery
hemodynamics. This has been driven principally by the accumulating evidence that aortic …

Aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) and the Ambulatory Arterial Stiffness Index (AASI) both
reflect arterial stiffness and predict cardiovascular outcome. To elucidate the independent …

Arterial stiffness may predict coronary heart disease beyond classic risk factors. In a
longitudinal study, we assessed the predictive value of arterial stiffness on coronary heart …

Increasing evidence points out at vascular stiffness (and in particular aortic stiffness
measured by pulse wave velocity) as a reliable biomarker of vascular aging, able to …

Background Vascular aging results in stiffer arteries and may have a role in the development
of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Arterial stiffness index (ASI), measured by finger …
