The Relation of Pulse Wave Velocity with Framingham Risk Score and SCORE Risk Score
Background and Objectives:The pulse wave velocity (PWV) reflects arterial stiffness, which is related to atherosclerotic vascular damage. This cross-sectional study was performed to evaluate the relation of the PWV with 10-year cardiovascular risk, as assessed by the revised Framingham risk scoring and European SCORE system. Subjects and Methods: Using
