SUPERIORITY OF PULSE WAVE VELOCITY FOR CARDIOVASCULAR RISK ASSESSMENT AMONG NONINVASIVE ARTERIAL STIFFNESS PARAMETERS IN THE GENERAL POPULATION

Several recent studies have suggested that arterial stiffness parameters such as peripheral pulse pressure (PPP), central blood pressure (CBP), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) are more accurate markers than brachial blood pressure for prediction of cardiovascular (CV) events. However, it remains
