Pressure measured with a cuff and sphygmomanometer in the brachial artery is accepted as
an important predictor of future cardiovascular risk. However, systolic pressure varies …

Objective: Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) is considered the gold standard for
arterial stiffness assessment in clinical practice. A large number of devices to measure PWV …

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 …

Objectives Recently, a novel method to estimate aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV)
noninvasively from an oscillometric single brachial cuff waveform reading has been …

The optimal performance of the cardiovascular system, as well as the break-down of this
performance with disease, both involve complex biomechanical interactions between the …

Objective: In adults with arterial hypertension, measuring arterial stiffness by pulse wave
velocity (PWV) can determine the extent of cardiovascular subclinical organ damage. PWV …

Objectives: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors reduce the incidence of
heart failure and death in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus. Arterial stiffness is a …

Objective: To test the hypothesis that left-ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is better associated
with aortic, than brachial, 24-h average blood pressure (BP) in individuals with hypertension …

Background Surrogates of aortic wave reflection and arterial stiffness, such as augmentation
index (AIx), augmentation pressure, pulse wave velocity (PWV) and pulse pressure …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with excess cardiovascular mortality, resulting
from both traditional and nontraditional, CKD‐specific, cardiovascular risk factors …
