Usefulness of estimated pulse wave velocity for identifying prevalent coronary heart disease: findings from a general Chinese population
Abstract Background Aortic stiffness and coronary heart disease (CHD) share a similar spectrum of risk factors; previous studies have identified the association between aortic stiffness and CHD. Recent studies have demonstrated estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) as a simple and easy-acquired indic...
