The study by Jankowski et al (p 641) confirms that in yet another country (Poland) the
indices of the aortic pressure waveform are related to clinical cardiovascular disease. Other …

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 …

Although arterial blood pressure is a well-established cardiovascular risk factor, it provides
only information about the two extreme points of the whole arterial blood pressure waveform …

Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), a measure of large artery stiffness, is an
important predictor of cardiovascular events. This has been attributed to it being an …

A high pulse pressure (PP) is a marker of increased artery stiffness and represents a well-
established independent predictor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The objective …

Objective: Aortic stiffness, as measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), is
an independent marker for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but is dependent on …

The augmentation index (AIx) and “oscillatory” compliance (C2) are wave contour analysis
parameters for the central aorta (Pao) and radial artery pressure wave (Prad), respectively …

Background: Aortic pulse wave velocity is a noninvasive measure of aortic stiffness and
arterial aging. Its current value in cardiovascular risk estimation practice is unknown. We …

Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), a measure of aortic stiffness, is an important indicator of
cardiovascular risk. Derivation of PWV from uncalibrated proximal aortic or carotid pressure …

Aortic stiffness, a cardiovascular risk factor, depends on the operating mean arterial
pressure (MAP). The impact of aortic stiffness on cardiovascular outcomes is proposed to be …
