Relative contributions of arterial stiffness to cardiovascular disease risk score in Chinese women in framingham and China-PAR model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Arterial stiffness played an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. The aim of this study was to verify the relative importance of arterial stiffness for different CVD risk scores in a large sample of Chinese women.

Methods

We measured arterial velocity pulse index (AVI) and CVD risk scores in 2220 female participants (mean age 57 years). Framingham Risk Score (FRS), and the prediction for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk in China (China-PAR) were used to estimate CVD risk, respectively. The relationships between AVI and risk scores were investigated by linear regressions and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. To determine the relative importance of AVI in predicting CVD risk scores, random forest analysis was use
