Non-invasive monitoring of atherosclerosis remains challenging. Pulse Wave Imaging (PWI) is a non-invasive technique to measure the local stiffness at diastolic and end-systolic …
Objective. Arterial wall stiffness can provide valuable information on the proper function of the cardiovascular system. Ultrasound elasticity imaging techniques have shown great …
Arterial stiffness has been reported to be a predictor of all-cause cardiovascular mortality. Ultrasound pulse wave imaging (PWI) uses motion tracking to image the vessel wall …
Carotid artery wall stiffness has been widely considered as an index of vascular health, and has been associated with occurrence of cardiovascular events, such as stroke. In addition …
