Observational comparison of event-free survival with medical and surgical therapy in patients with coronary artery disease. 20 years of follow-up.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Aging results in vascular stiffening and an increase in the velocity of the pressure wave as it travels down the aorta. Increased aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) has been associated with mortality in clinical but not general populations. The objective of this investigation was to determine whether aPWV is ...
