Objective: Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was used as a noninvasive marker of arterial stiffness. The aim of this study was to assess the association between arterial stiffness and cause specific mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods: This multicenter prospective observational study analyzed 2,320 patients with T2DM. The patients were divided into two groups according to baPWV (cutoff baPWV of 1,750 cm/s). Causes ...
