Increased arterial stiffness has been associated with an increased risk of developing
cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an innovative …

Arterial stiffness (AS) is a predictor of coronary artery outcomes in patients with
cardiovascular disease (CVD). Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is a commonly …

Arterial stiffness increases with age, as well as in various pathological states, including
obesity, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and dyslipidemia, and it has important consequences …

Arterial stiffness has been identified as an independent predictor of prognostic outcomes for
patients with cardiovascular disease. Although measurement of pulse wave velocity has …

The proximal aorta acts as a coupling device between heart and brain perfusion, modulating
the amount of pressure and flow pulsatility transmitted into the cerebral microcirculation …

The aorta has 2 main functions, conduit and cushion, and is designed to transmit blood to
the periphery and buffer pulsatile stress from ventricular contraction. In the interaction …

Although the associations between chronic levels of arterial stiffness and blood pressure
(BP) have been fairly well studied, it is not clear whether and how much arterial stiffness is …

Background Aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events in patients
with arterial hypertension. Resistant hypertension is often linked to hyperaldosteronism and …

The method used for pulse transit time (PTT) estimation critically affects the accuracy and
precision of regional pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurements. Several methods of PTT …

Objectives Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the proposed gold-standard for the assessment of
aortic elastic properties. The aim of this study was to compare aortic PWV determined by a …
