Radial Pulse Wave Signals Combined with Ba-PWV for the Risk Prediction of Hypertension and the Monitoring of Its Accompanying Metabolic Risk Factors

Figure 2

Additional value of radial artery pulse wave parameters compared with the baseline model for the prediction of hypertension. Notes. Risk assessment plot shows the baseline model (dashed lines) and the new model including ₃/₁ (solid lines). Event curves (black lines) represent sensitivity vs calculated risk. No event curves (red lines) represent 1 − specificity vs calculated risk. Baseline model: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and Ba-PWV. New model: baseline model + h₃/h₁.
