P152 Prediction of Death or Heart Failure-related Hospitalizations by Cardio-ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) and CAVI0
Background: Arterial stiffness as measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been shown to predict cardiovascular events [1]. However, PWV is blood pressure (BP) dependent [2,3] leading to the development of cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) as a more blood pressure-independent index...
