Estimated carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity has similar predictive value as measured carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity
Conclusion: ePWV predicted major cardiovascular events independently of SCORE, FRS and cfPWV indicating that these traditional risk scores have underestimated the complicated impact of age and blood pressure on arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk.
