Pulse pressure, especially in central arteries, is an independent predictor of adverse
cardiovascular events in patients with increased elastic artery stiffness (or elastance). The …

The relationship between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease risk is complex.
Low-to-moderate daily alcohol consumption (1–2 drinks/day) is associated with reduced …

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

Background Arterial stiffness is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Carotid-
femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is the most recognized and established index of arterial …

The measurement of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is simple and applicable
for general population studies. The present study was conducted to evaluate the …

The aorta is the principal capacitive element of the arterial tree and its increased stiffness,
determined by measurement of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a strong independent …

Background: We examined whether pulse wave velocity (PWV), determined by brachial
ankle arterial pressure wave measurements, using a newly developed, fully automated …

Isolated systolic hypertension is predominantly observed in the elderly because of increased
arterial stiffness. Aggressive treatment leads to excessive lowering of diastolic blood …

Blood pressure (BP) is one of the most important contributing factors to pulse wave velocity
(PWV), a classic measure of arterial stiffness. Although there have been many non-invasive …
