Carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity (PWV) provides a comprehensive noninvasive indication of arterial stiffness, and is now established as a strong marker of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The correlation between peripheral blood pressure (BP) and PWV and their respective influences on mortality have been poorly studied in the elderly. Our objective was to analyze this correlation in nursing-home residents over 80 years of age, with the view that the results of this could ultimately be helpful in implementing strategies for the diagnosis and long-term follow-up of CVD and mortality in the very elderly population.
