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 ...

PWV was measured the next day in those patients who had the sinus rhythm restored. Patients were supine for at least 10 min before the PWV examination in standardized conditions in room temperature.

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 ...

Arterial stiffness is one of the early signs of cardiovascular disease, and arterial stiffening has been observed in children. A recent study suggests that an easy-to-use, non-invasive method can ...

A study involving patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic sclerosis, and spondyloarthritis has found that ...

Quick, ultrasound-based assessment could readily be used in routine practice ...

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 ...
