Abstract:
Non-invasive brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), as an indicator of atherosclerosis, has been widely used in clinical practice. In present, there are no enough epidemiological data on baPWV in China, and the existing data vary wildly. This article reviewed the value of baPWV in cardiovascular diseases and analysis of the risk factors for the diseases in order to provide references for its clinical application.
