Elevated large-artery stiffness is recognized as an independent predictor of cardiovascular
and all-cause mortality. The mechanisms responsible for such stiffening are incompletely …

BACKGROUND The purpose of this document is to provide clinicians with guidance, using
expert consensus, to help summarize evidence and offer practical recommendations …

Sedentary behavior has been identified as an independent predictor of future cardiovascular
disease risk and all-cause mortality. To explain this association, a growing body of literature …

Objective: We propose a calibration-free method and system for cuffless blood pressure (BP)
measurement from superficial arteries. A prototype device with bi-modal probe arrangement …

Background: The dynamics of pulsatile waveforms travelling the central aorta are governed
by pressures and arterial compliance. Arterial stiffness, the inverse of compliance, is an …

Objective: Measuring arterial pulse transit time (PTT) to estimate blood pressure (BP) without
conventional brachial cuff-based measurement is not new, but is a focus of current wearable …

Aging increases arterial stiffness, which has a negative impact on cerebral blood flow (CBF)
regulation (decreases CBF and increases CBF pulsatility). The association between arterial …

Objective Pulse-wave velocity (PWV), a common measure of arterial stiffness, can be
measured continuously and across multiple body sites using photoplethysmography (PPG) …

Objective: Ballistocardiogram (BCG) features are of interest in wearable cardiovascular
monitoring of cardiac performance. We assess feasibility of wrist acceleration BCG during …

Home blood pressure monitors are widely used by consumers yet cardiovascular health
may be better defined by pulse-wave velocity (PWV). So far, the Withings Body Cardio scale …
