TLDR
Aortic stiffness expressed as aortic PWV is a strong predictor of future CV events and all-cause mortality and the predictive ability of arterial stiffness is higher in subjects with a higher baseline CV risk.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.
