Estimated pulse wave velocity is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with stroke: A national-based prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Extensive evidence underscores the potential of estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) as a robust tool for predicting disease prevalence and mortality. However, its comparative effectiveness in forecasting all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, particularly among stroke populations, remains inadequately characterized in relation to the traditional Framingham Risk Score (FRS) model. This prospective study included 1202 individuals with stroke from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 1999 and 2014, with comprehensive follow-up data. Survey-weighted Cox regression models were employed to examine the association between ePWV and the risks of all-cause and CVD mortality. Subgroup analyses were performed to evaluate the stability of ePWV in predic
