Abstract P024: Associations Between Carotid-femoral And Estimated Pulse Wave Velocity In Older Adults: The Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities (ARIC) Study

Background: Carotid to femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), the gold-standard measure of aortic stiffness, is associated with the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. Most cfPWV measurements depend on technical proficiency, which limit broader implementation in clinical settings. Recently, an estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) measure derived from age and mean arterial pressure (MAP) has been shown to be associated with the risk...
