Description
Bo Kyung Jeon and co-authors compared two artery measures for predicting heart and brain events in a 2025 study. One measure, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, tracks how fast a pulse wave moves, a sign of stiff arteries. The other, brachial pulse pressure, is a simple gap between two pressure readings. Which one warns better was unclear.
The team reviewed records of more than eleven thousand patients who had both measures taken. Median age was in the early sixties, and men were a bit over half the group. Over a median follow-up near four years, a few hundred major events occurred. The study weighs which measure sorts future risk more sharply.
