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 …

Investigation of arterial stiffness, especially of the large arteries, has gathered pace in recent
years with the development of readily available noninvasive assessment techniques. These …

Cardiovascular health is typically monitored by measuring blood pressure. Here we
describe a wireless on-skin system consisting of synchronized sensors for chest …

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 …

In recent years, great emphasis has been placed on the role of arterial stiffness in the
development of cardiovascular diseases. Indeed, the assessment of arterial stiffness is …

Background Vascular aging results in stiffer arteries and may have a role in the development
of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Arterial stiffness index (ASI), measured by finger …

With advancing age, arterial stiffness and wave reflections increase and elevate systolic and
pulse pressures. An elevated central pulse pressure is generally ascribed to increased wave …

Background—Few population studies addressed the prognostic significance of aortic pulse
wave velocity (APWV) above and beyond other cardiovascular risk factors. Methods and …

Background—Aging results in vascular stiffening and an increase in the velocity of the
pressure wave as it travels down the aorta. Increased aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) has …

The wearable physiological monitoring system is a washable shirt, which uses an array of
sensors connected to a central processing unit with firmware for continuously monitoring …
