Arterial pulse waves are regarded as vital diagnostic tools in the assessment of
cardiovascular disease (CVD). Because of their high sensitivity, rapid response time …

Large artery stiffness assessment has been an integral part of the SphygmoCor technology
since 1998. Aortic stiffness is approximated with non-invasive measurement of carotid …

Townsend et al Vascular Research on Arterial Stiffness 699 pressure, blood flow, and
arterial diameter change with each heartbeat. In addition to the passive mechanical …

Stiffness of elastic arteries like the aorta predicts cardiovascular risk. By directly reflecting
arterial stiffness, having the best predictive value for cardiovascular outcome and the ease of …

Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), a marker of arterial stiffness, is an established
independent cardiovascular risk factor. Little information is available on the pattern and …

Arterial stiffness is a vascular measure that has been reported to predict cardiovascular
events. It is important to measure arterial stiffness in order to determine current vascular …

Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the Western world.
In the early development of atherosclerosis, vessel walls remodel outwardly such that the …

In medical practice the reference values of arterial stiffness came from multicenter registries
obtained in Asia, USA, Australia and Europe. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the gold …

This review summarizes several scientific contributions at the recent Satellite Symposium of
the European Society of Hypertension, held in Milan, Italy. Arterial stiffening and its …

Objectives: To compare noninvasive methods to assess pulse wave velocity (PWV) with the
invasive gold standard in terms of absolute values, age-related changes, and relationship …
