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.

Arterial pulse wave velocity in coronary arteries
2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006Pulse wave velocity is related to arterial stiffness. Pulse wave velocity changes with age and disease and is a useful indicator of cardiovascular disease. Different methods are used for evaluating pulse wave velocity in systemic vessels, but none is applicable to coronary arteries.

Pulse wave velocity and hypertension
1987Of the many factors implicated in the genesis and maintenance of elevated arterial pressure, the pulsatile function of the arterial system has received little attention in comparison to other cardiovascular related phenomena such as increase in peripheral resistance, regulation of cardiac output, the role of the autonomic nervous system, glomerular ...

[Arteriosclerosis and pulse wave velocity].
Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 2004Impairment of the arterial compliance or loss of Windkessel effect of elastic arteries causes increased afterload to the heart and increased pulsatile flow to the peripheral vasculatures. The former induces left ventricular hypertrophy or dysfunction and the latter induces small vessel damage or end organ dysfunction.
