to Score risk calculating led to an increase of the proportion of patients at high risk (from 5 to 15%,P < 0.001).The following results have been found: SCORE risk =5.65 (SD=+/-6.05);PWV=9.2m/s (SD=+/-1.94). Our results confi rm that determining aortic PWV is an usefultool for Primary Practice, as it correlateswith SCORE index,which is recommended by the European Society of Cardiology as an evaluationmethod of cardiovascular risk in patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
