Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity is Associated with the Risk of New Carotid Plaque Formation: Data from a Chinese Community-based Cohort.


ABSTRACT: Artery stiffness is an independent marker for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. However, whether the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV) is related to new carotid plaque formation is unresolved. This study aimed to investigate the association between baseline ba-PWV and new carotid plaque formation in a Chinese community-based population without carotid plaques at baseline. This study population consisted of a total of 738 participants from an atherosclerosis cohort in Beijing, China. After a mean 2.3-year follow-up, the incidence of carotid plaques were 21.2% and 36.5% in the groups with ba-PWV < 1,400?cm/s and ?1,400?cm/s, respectively. Compared with baseline ba-PWV < 1,400?cm/s group, ba-PWV???1,400?cm/s group was significantly associated with the incidence of new carotid plaque formation (odds ratio [OR]?=?2.14, 95% CI: 1.50-3.03, P?
