Association between estimated pulse wave velocity and all-cause mortality in patients with coronary artery disease: a cohort study from NHANES 2005-2008.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Arterial stiffness has been shown to be an independent risk factor for adverse events and all-cause mortality in patients. Although PWV is the gold standard for pulse wave velocity, its application in clinical practice is limited by the high cost and complexity. ePwv is a new, simple, non-invasive indicator of arterial stiffness. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between ePwv and all-cause mortality in patients with coronary artery disease.

Methods

This is a cohort study, selected from NHANES 2005 to 2008, 402 patients with coronary artery disease were included. The ePWV was divided into two groups and KM survival curves were used to calculate cumulative mortality in patients with coronary artery disease. Restricted cubic spline were used to rep
