Abstract
P152 Prediction of Death or Heart Failure-related Hospitalizations by Cardio-ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) and CAVI0
Highlights
Arterial stiffness as measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been shown to predict cardiovascular events [1]
PWV is blood pressure (BP) dependent [2,3] leading to the development of cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) as a more blood pressure-independent index [4] that shows predictive ability in Asian populations [5]
The present study aims to assess risk prediction by CAVI and CAVI0 in a US population
Summary
Arterial stiffness as measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been shown to predict cardiovascular events [1]. Background: Arterial stiffness as measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been shown to predict cardiovascular events [1]. PWV is blood pressure (BP) dependent [2,3] leading to the development of cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) as a more blood pressure-independent index [4] that shows predictive ability in Asian populations [5].
