Aortic Pulse-Wave Velocity and Its Relationship to Mortality in Diabetes and Glucose Intolerance

BACKGROUND: Arterial distensibility measures, generally from pulse-wave velocity (PWV), are widely used with little knowledge of relationships to patient outcome. We tested whether aortic PWV predicts cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes and glucose-tolerance-tested (GTT) multie... View More
