Prognostic significance of mechanical biomarkers derived from pulse wave analysis for predicting long-term cardiovascular mortality in two population-based cohorts

Numerous mechanical biomarkers derived from pulse wave analysis (PWA) have been proposed to predict cardiovascular outcomes. However, whether these biomarkers carry independent prognostic value and clinical utility beyond traditional cardiovascular risk factors hasn't been systematically evaluated. We aimed to investigate the additive utility of PWA-derived biomarkers in two independent population-based cohorts.PWA on central arterial pressure...
