P23 PREDICTION OF TOTAL AND CAUSE-SPECIFIC MORTALITY INCIDENCE AS WELL AS CARDIOVASCULAR MORBIDITY BY USE OF NON-INVASIVE MEASUREMENT OF CAROTID- FEMORAL PULSE WAVE VELOCITY AS A MEASURE OF ARTERIAL STIFFNESS
Objective: Arterial stiffness (AS) increases with age and predicts total mortality and total cardiovascular (CV) events. It has also been shown that positive family history (FH+) of cardiometabolic disease influences AS. We aimed to: 1) examine if AS predicts total mortality among elderly subjects,...
