Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV)

Beyond the Framingham Score

The Framingham score is a well-recognized tool for assessing a patient's cardiovascular risk, taking into account factors such as age, gender, blood pressure, cholesterol, and smoking. However, it does not directly consider the structural and functional health of the arteries. For this purpose, the measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV) offers a crucial complementary perspective, and it is now proven that it allows for earlier and more accurate identification of patients at the highest risk of cardiovascular and neurovascular events.
