The arterial pulse wave (PW) is a rich source of information on cardiovascular (CV) health. It
is widely measured by both consumer and clinical devices. However, the physical …

Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), a measure of large artery stiffness, is an
important predictor of cardiovascular events. This has been attributed to it being an …

The stiffness of the aorta can be determined by measuring carotid–femoral pulse wave
velocity (PWVcf). PWV may also influence the contour of the peripheral pulse, suggesting …

In vivo arterial stiffness is a dynamic property based on vascular function and structure. It is
influenced by confounding factors like blood pressure (BP), age, gender, body mass index …

Since the information which the pulse affords is of so great importance, and so often
consulted, surely it must be to our advantage to appreciate fully all it tells us, and to draw …

Deterioration in endothelial function and arterial stiffness are early events in the
development of cardiovascular diseases. In adults, noninvasive measures of atherosclerosis …

These guidelines acknowledged that central (aortic) blood pressure (BP), which is the
pressure exerted on the heart and brain, may be different from the pressure that is measured …

Brachial artery ultrasound is commonly employed for noninvasive assessment of endothelial
function. However, analysis is observer dependent and susceptible to errors. We describe …

This review analyses methods and devices used worldwide to evaluate the arterial stiffness.
Three main methodologies are based upon analysis of pulse transit time, of wave contour of …
