Central and peripheral pulse wave velocities are associated with ankle–brachial pressure index
Artery Research, 2011 Background: Central Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is considered to be the gold standard measurement of arterial stiffness. In healthy subjects, cardiovascular risk factors such as age, hypertension, diabetes and end-stage renal disease are associated with ...
