Article Synopsis
- Pulse-wave velocity (ePWV) is linked to arterial stiffness and increased cardiovascular disease risk, and this study investigated its relationship with cerebral small-vessel disease in a diverse group of 1257 participants from the NOMAS study.
- The analysis showed a significant association between ePWV and white matter hyperintensity volume, with stronger effects observed in Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black populations, indicating racial and ethnic variations in this risk factor.
- Findings suggest that ePWV could be a key mechanism behind adverse cerebrovascular outcomes in individuals with cerebral small-vessel disease, emphasizing the importance of monitoring this measure, especially in minority groups.
