ObjectiveThis study was conducted to investigate the hypertension and arterial stiffness (AS) in predicting future atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. Methods: We included 6530 participants from Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital. AS was assessed by measuring brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and participants were stratified into two groups: ASCVD[&ge;]10% or ASCVD<10% by a risk threshold of 10%.
