Superior predictive value of estimated pulse wave velocity for all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality risk in U.S. general adults

Abstract Background Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) has been proposed as a potential approach to estimate carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity. However, the potential of ePWV in predicting all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiovascular disease mortality (CVM) in the general population is unclear....
