Usefulness of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity as a predictive marker of multiple coronary artery occlusive disease in Korean type 2 diabetes patients

Prediction of Coronary Artery Disease Using Pulse Wave Velocity and Retinal Artery Lesions

“…Tso et al (2005) observed that patients diagnosed as lupus erythematosus with baPWV above 1,400 cm/s had more cardiovascular risk factors. Xu et al (2008) demonstrated that baPWV above 1,600 cm/s strongly indicated severe coronary atherosclerosis in elderly urban Chinese patients, and Kim et al (2009) showed cutoff value of 1,635 cm/s was useful for predicting the presence of multiple coronary artery occlusive disease. In the present study we demonstrated that in patients with baPWV over 1,400 cm/s, the number of those diagnosed as CAD is significantly more than those diagnosed as non-CAD.…”

Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index is Independently Associated with Future Cardiovascular Events in Outpatients with Metabolic Disorders

“…In 2002, brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) was proposed as a marker of vascular damage and was reported to be a predictive factor of coronary artery disease 34) . Furthermore, baPWV was strongly correlated with aortic (carotid-femoral) PWV, an estab- Table 1. when conducting multivariate analysis, they were not extracted similarly.…”

Mouse Experimental Models of Atherosclerosis in Pharmacology

“…Among them, pulse wave velocity (PWV) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], augmentation index [8], the stiffness parameter β [9,10], and carotid-femoral PWV [11] have been proposed as markers of arterial stiffness. In 2002, brachial-ankle PWV was proposed as a marker of vascular damage [12], and was reported to be a predictive factor of coronary artery disease [13]. However, PWV is known to depend on blood pressure at the time of measurement [14].…”
