Prognostic Value of Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index for Cardiovascular and Kidney Outcomes: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Arterial stiffness causes cardiovascular disease and target-organ damage. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity is regarded as a standard arterial stiffness metric. However, the prognostic value of cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), which is mathematically corrected for blood pressure, remains understudied.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to determine the association of CAVI with cardiovascular and kidney outcomes.

Methods

PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched until May 6, 2023, for longitudinal studies reporting the association of CAVI with mortality, cardiovascular events (CVEs) (including death, acute coronary syndromes, stroke, coronary revascularization, heart failure hospitalization), and kidney function decline (incidence/progressi
