Aortic pulse wave velocity (AoPWV) and augmentation index (AIx) are commonly used
measures of large elastic artery stiffness and wave reflection, respectively. Recently, a new …

Background The importance of measuring aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVao), aortic
augmentation index (Aix) and central systolic blood pressure (SBPao) has been shown …

Abstract In the European Society of Cardiology–European Society of Hypertension
guidelines of the year 2007, the consequences of arterial stiffness and wave reflection on …

Arterial stiffness is an important cardiovascular risk marker, which can be measured
noninvasively with different techniques. To validate such techniques in healthy subjects, we …

Background Arterial stiffness, measured as aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), and wave
reflection, measured as augmentation index (AIx), are independent predictors for total and …

BACKGROUND Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an indirect index of arterial stiffness and
an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Consistency of PWV assessment over time is thus …

The aim of our study was to investigate the association between pulse wave velocity (PWV)
and pulse wave analysis (PWA)-derived measurements for the evaluation of arterial …

Background New 2007 European Society of Hypertension guidelines recommend
measuring arterial stiffness in patients with arterial hypertension, suggesting a carotid …

Objectives The aortic augmentation index (AI) and aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) are
known to be indicators of arterial stiffness. However, it is not clear whether aortic AI and PWV …

We assessed the feasibility of ambulatory pulse wave analysis by comparing this approach
with an established tonometric technique. We investigated 35 volunteers (45.6 years; 51.0 …
