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

Objectives Recently, a novel method to estimate aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV)
noninvasively from an oscillometric single brachial cuff waveform reading has been …

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 Surrogates of aortic wave reflection and arterial stiffness, such as augmentation
index (AIx), augmentation pressure, pulse wave velocity (PWV) and pulse pressure …

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 …

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: Central aortic blood pressure (cBP) is a valuable predictor of cardiovascular
risk. The lack of fully automated measurement devices impeded an implementation in daily …

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 …

Objective: The measurement of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV ao) is an accepted marker
in stratifying individual cardiovascular risk in adults. There is an increasing volume of …

Background Accumulating evidence suggests the potential superiority of office aortic blood
pressure (BP) over brachial in the management of arterial hypertension. The noninvasive …
