May 23, 2022The Analysis of Arterial Stiffness in Heart Failure Patients: The Prognostic Role of Pulse Wave Velocity, Augmentation Index and Stiffness Index
Fabio Anastasio and colleagues evaluated the relationship between arterial stiffness and survival in 199 hospitalized HF patients. Over a median follow up of 437 days, the team found higher aortic pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, and stiffness index to be associated with increased risk of death or re-hospitalization. The study suggests the evaluation of arterial stiffness values before discharge to be useful in predicting outcomes in HF patients.
