In the present issue of Hypertension Research, Nürnberger et al. 1 interestingly describe an
important factor when arterial stiffness is clinically assessed: subject's body position …

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the reproducibility of pulse wave velocity
(PWV) and augmentation index (AIx) measured using pulse wave analysis (PWA), prior to its …

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 …

Pulse wave analysis (PWA) is a non-invasive, simple and informative technique for arterial
assessment by which central arterial blood pressure can also be estimated from brachial …

One hundred and thirty years ago, long before the routine use of blood pressure
measurement, Mahmoud [1] advocated pulse wave analysis as a means of evaluating the …

Abstract Purpose of Review Arterial pulse waveform analysis has a long tradition but has not
pervaded medical routine yet. This review aims to answer the question whether the …

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a simple measure of the time taken by the pressure wave to
travel over a specific distance. By virtue of its intrinsic relation to the mechanical properties of …

Background Arterial stiffness is a well-established indicator of cardiovascular disease
outcome. Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is a surrogate for arterial stiffness that is measured …

Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index are independent predictors of
adverse cardiovascular events, including mortality. In hypertension and aging, central elastic …

Objective: Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) is considered the gold standard for
arterial stiffness assessment in clinical practice. A large number of devices to measure PWV …
