Text: On Cox proportional-hazard modeling, mean maximum IMT, PWV (a-f), and SAC were predictive of the composite clinical end point of all cardiovascular events, but carotid-derived augmentation index was not (hazard ratio [HR] for every 0. 01-mm increase in IMT, 1. 09 ; P = 0. 001 ; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1. 03 to 1. 14 ; HR for every 1-m/s increase in PWV (a-f), 1. 18 ; P < 0. 001 ; 95 % CI, 1. 12 to 1. 25 ; HR for every 0. 01-U / mm Hg decrease in SAC, 0. 98 ; P = 0. 01 ; 95 % CI, 0. 97 to 0. 99).
