Pulse wave analysis and pulse wave velocity
Journal of Hypertension, 2003The study of the pulse using the technique of applanation tonometry is undergoing a resurgence with the development of new computerized equipment. We aim here to present a critical review of the uses, potential uses, strengths and weaknesses of the technique of applanation tonometry for the assessment of augmentation index and pulse wave velocity.

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) reflects arterial stiffness. PWV correlates with other markers reflecting the severity of atherosclerosis such as the findings of ultrasound examination of carotid artery. In addition, several studies demonstrated that increased PWV is a predictor of future cardiovascular events in patients with either hypertension or diabetes

Inductive Plethysmography for aortic Pulse Wave Velocity
2020 42nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), 2020Aortic stiffening is a process that is linked to cardiovascular risk factor increase. Then, aortic stiffness evaluation is considered as a good index of the evolution of pathophysiological situations, including myocardial infarction, heart failure, atherosclerosis or stroke.

Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV) is a noninvasive and simple method of measuring arterial stiffness and an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in some lifestyle-related diseases. We evaluated that baPWV is well correlated with many atherosclerotic risk factors including abdominal visceral obesity and HOMA, and that the ...

Wave Travel and Pulse Wave Velocity
2018Waves generated by the heart travel down the aorta and major conduit arteries. These waves are pressure waves, flow or velocity waves or diameter waves. The ratio of the distance Δx, and the time it takes for the foot of the wave to travel over this distance, Δt, gives the wave speed or pulse wave velocity, PWV=Δx/Δt.

Measurement of pulse wave velocity: site matters
Journal of Hypertension, 2007Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) predicts mortality from cardiovascular disease, ischaemic heart disease and stroke. However, a comparison of associations between PWV measured at different sites and atherosclerosis in coronary, carotid and femoral arteries has not been made.In 159 men (ages 45-82 years) with and without known coronary artery disease ...

Pulse Wave Velocity Techniques
2019Recently, pulse wave velocity (PWV), or its reciprocal pulse transit time (PTT), has been intensively investigated as a promising technique for continuous, cuffless, and noninvasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring. BP is mathematically derived through PTT, or the “time delay” in propagation of pressure waves in the vascular system, which can be easily ...

The pulse wave generated by the left ventricular myocardium contraction and blood ejection is propagated throughout the arterial tree at a speed determined by the elastic and geometric properties of arterial wall and the blood density. This velocity along the aorta or along the arteries of the forearm can be measured by using two ultrasound or strain ...

Metabolic syndrome and arterial pulse wave velocity
Acta Cardiologica, 2010The metabolic syndrome is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It is important to examine the relation of the metabolic syndrome with the early stages of atherosclerosis. We sought to determine the impact of the metabolic syndrome, defined with International Diabetes Federation criteria, on arterial pulse wave velocity.Four hundred

Venous Pulse Wave Propagation Velocity in Hemorrhage
Archives of Surgery, 1971The velocity of venous pulse waves induced by distal compression of extremities was measured transcutaneously by a Doppler ultrasound method in anesthetized dogs. Venous pulse wave propagation velocity (VPWPV) averaged 1.3 meters/sec. In response to a hemorrhage as small as 10% of the blood volume, VPWPV increased 31% in the first minute.
