Estimated pulse wave velocity is associated with residual-specific mortality: findings from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) is emerging as a predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Approximately one-third of all deaths are not related to the top nine causes of mortality as defined by the CDC. We examined the association of ePWV with residual-specific mortality in a large sample of US adults. ⋯ ePWV is associated with residual-specific mortality in a nationally representative sample of adults.
