Since the aorta is the major component of arterial elasticity, the carotid-femoral PWV offers the simplest reproducible and noninvasive evaluation of regional stiffness. This measurement allows the ...

In this study we set out to investigate the relationship between aortic diameter and the presence of AAA on PWV measured non-invasively using the Vicorder device. The study consisted of 309 patients ...

A total of 531 subjects were available for this study, 210 individuals (mean±s.d. age, 27.8±2.8 years; range, 21.3–34.8 years; 54.8% EAs and 53.5% males) from the BP stress study and 321 twins (mean±s ...

Researchers found that estimated Pulse Wave Velocity (ePWV), a readily available marker of arterial stiffness, has been shown to be an effective addition in identifying patients at risk of mortality ...

Nokia has announced that it will disable the pulse wave velocity measurement feature on its Withings’ Body Cardio scale as of January 24. The company said it is now learning the technology may require ...
