Framingham	General population	Tsao et al.94)	2,539	64	10.1	cfPWV	HF
Health ABC	Older adults	Pandey et al.96)	2,290	73.5	11.4	cfPWV	Hospitalized HF*
-	Asymptomatic with HF risk factors	Aisu et al.97)	456	-	4.9	baPWV	Hospitalized HF
-	Acute STEMI patients	Feistritzer et al.98)	160	62	1.2	PWV (MRI)	CVE including CHF

bPP = brachial pulse pressure; baPWV = brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; cfPWV = carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity; CHF = congestive heart failure; CRIC = Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort; CVE = cardiovascular event; FU = follow-up; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; Health ABC = Health, Aging, and Body Composition; HF = heart failure; MESA = Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; PWV = pulse wave velocity; RM = reflection magnitude; STEMI = ST elevation myocardial infarction.
