Peripheral vs. central arterial stiffness and cardiovascular events in older adults: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study
faPWV showed a borderline significant inverse association with CVD, and cf-fa ratio appeared more strongly associated with CVD than cfPWV. Our findings indicate distinct prognostic implications of central vs. peripheral arterial stiffness and support cf-fa ratio as an alternative measure for CVD risk assessment.
