Abstract:One marker of arterial stiffness (AS) is the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). We aim to investigate the predictive value of baPWV with regard to new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF). All participants without AF from 2010 to 2020 in the Kailuan cohort were included. The primary endpoint was new-onset AF. Participants were categorized into three study groups based on baPWV, with a normal baPWV group as a reference. The predictive value of baPWV was analyzed as a continuous variable. Multivariable Cox pr… Show more
