The aim of our study is to assess the Cardiovascular risk and the quality of the arteries by comparing the Coronary Calcium Score SCC measured with a CT scann and the Pulse Wave Velocity PWV measured with pOpmeter for the prognosis at 6 months of clinical events. Is there a superiority of PWV compared to SCC:
Two method of cardiovascular risk screening are compared in patient going for Coronary Calcium Score measurement in a outpatient clinic. Ct Scann is expensive, learning time is for at least 2 years, and the reliability is operator dependent. The Pulse Wave Velocity is measured using a new device with half an hour learning curve, and you get a result within 2 minutes. 1. A non-invasive medical device vs invasive 2. A better benefit-risk ratio 3. A lower diagnostic cost both for equipment and for qualification for use and learning time
