...Ichiro Wakabayashi; Yoko Sotoda Introduction: Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), a blood pressure-independent measure of heart-ankle pulse wave velocity, is a relatively new indicator of arterial stiffness. The absolute value of the difference in right CAVI and left CAVI (diff-CAVI) has been...

...Taichiro Hayase Introduction: The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a well-known index to evaluate arterial stiffness and predict cardiovascular risk. Methods: We investigated whether CAVI can predict severity and extent of peripheral arterial disease. This study was a single-center...

...Teerapat Yingchoncharoen; Piyamitr Sritara Arterial stiffness as measured by the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a widely available method in Thailand. Data from a large cross-sectional study revealed a significant correlation of CAVI and the presence of coronary artery disease as detected...

.... The present review focuses on the existing association between Lp(a) and arterial stiffness parameters. Summary: This review included human clinical studies that were published between 1980 and 2015. The metrics of arterial stiffness parameters, ‘pulse wave velocity' (PWV) and ‘cardio-ankle vascular index...

... in routine clinical practice. Arterial stiffness was supposed to be one of the monitoring indexes of arteriosclerosis. Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is reflecting the stiffness of the arterial tree from the origin of the aorta to the ankle, and one of the features of CAVI is independency from blood...

... between arterial stiffness, including carotid-femoral and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and cardio-ankle vascular index, and cardiovascular disease, specifically stroke. We discuss the utility and prognostic significance of regional arterial stiffness measurements. [email protected] 28...

...Akihiko Kato Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is more efficient to handily assess arteriosclerosis than aortic PWV. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is also a novel blood pressure...
