Influence of thrombotic biomarkers on pulse wave velocity (PWV) in patients with SLE without coronary calcifications (n = 18)

Parameters	PWV [m/s]	p-value
vWF < 200 IU/dl	8.2 ±1.7	0.01
vWF ≥ 200 IU/dl	10.4 ±0.1
TAT < 10 μg/l	8.3 ±1.9	NS
TAT ≥ 10 μg/l	9.9 ±0.8

NS – non-significant, PWV – pulse wave velocity, TAT – thrombin–antithrombin complexes, vWF – von Willebrand factor.
