Pulse wave velocity in retinal arteries of healthy volunteers.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV) in large vessels has been used extensively in clinical practice as an indirect measure of arterial stiffness and an indicator of cardiovascular risk factors. Arterial stiffness increases with age and in coronary artery disease. An in vivo clinical method to characterise arterial stiffness of the central microcirculation was developed. M...
متن کاملDeterminants of Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity and Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity in Healthy Koreans
The aim of this study was to determine the normal value of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) according to age group, gender, and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors in healthy Koreans, and to investigate the association between PWV and risk factors such as prehypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, and obesity. We measured an arteria...
متن کاملReproducibility of Regional Pulse Wave Velocity in Healthy Subjects
BACKGROUND/AIMS Despite the clinical importance and widespread use of pulse wave velocity (PWV), there are no standards for pulse sensors or for system requirements to ensure accurate pulse wave measurement. We assessed the reproducibility of PWV values using a newly developed PWV measurement system. METHODS The system used in this study was the PP-1000, which simultaneously provides regional...
متن کاملPulse wave velocity and digital volume pulse as indirect estimators of blood pressure: pilot study on healthy volunteers.
The purpose of the study was to asses the potential use of pulse wave velocity (PWV) and digital volume pulse (DVP) as estimators of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DPB) blood pressure. Single and multiple correlation studies were conducted, including biometric parameters and risk factors. Brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) and DVP signals were obtained from a Pulse Trace PWV and Pulse Trace PCA (pulse c...
متن کاملPulse Wave Analysis and Pulse Wave Velocity
momanometer that provides arterial pressures (brachial systolic and diastolic pressure) is coming under question. The concerns extend well beyond the familiar issue of “white coat” hypertension, home and 24-h blood pressure recordings, and the phase-out of mercury based instruments. These concerns relate to the inaccuracy of all cuff devices for measuring pressure within the brachial artery, th...
