Improvement in Brachial Endothelial Vasomotor Function and Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity Reduces the Residual Risk for Cardiovascular Events after Optimal Medical Treatment in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease.

CONCLUSIONS: The improvement in FMD and baPWV had additive effects on risk reduction of the achievement of the optimal goals of traditional risk factors in patients with CAD. Thus, serial measurements of FMD and baPWV may be useful for identifying CAD patients at residual risk for adverse cardiovascular events following OMT.
