Association between carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and overall cardiovascular risk score assessed by the SCORE system in urban Polish population.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study is the first to describe the distribution of CFPWV in the adult Polish population. SCORE ≥ 5% pre- dicted high CFPWV in 4.9 years of follow-up, which was independent of other risk factors. CFPWV > 11.7 m/s was most valid in relation to high CVD risk.
