CfPWV provides a general overview, and influence of risk factors on the circulatory system.Currently in Poland there are no reliable epidemiological studies that would determine the distribution and range of reference values carotid\-femoral pulse wave velocity \(cfPWV\). In the presented study of doctoral dissertation cfPWV was carried out on a random group of people from the general population, including the recommended method of matching measurements and standards for cfPWV. Objectives of the research\:1. Evaluation of distribution and defining the referential value of cfPWV in the general population sample of adults. 2. Estimation of correlations between cfPWV and cardio\-vascular risk factors measured on the basis of classical risk scores. 3. Determination of the usefulness of cfPWV in predicting coronary artery stenosis. \; Material and methodologyThe study included 700 consecutive patients aged 45\-70 years participating in the Polish part of the research program HAPIEE \(Health, Alcohol and Psychosocial factors in Eastern Europe\), because in this period of life often results in clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis and its complications.
