Description

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurements are commonly used to evaluate a patient’s arterial stiffness, an indicator of cardiovascular dysfunction. PWV is usually calculated by measuring the pulse transit time (PTT) over a known distance through the arteries. In an experimental study on animals, it is straight forward to measure the PTT using two pressure catheters a known distance apart in the central arteries. However, in a clinical setting it is uncommon for such a direct invasive method to b...
