Validity and reproducibility of arterial pulse wave velocity measurement using new device with oscillometric technique: A pilot study

摘要: Background Availability of a range techniques and devices allow measurement many variables related to the stiffness large or medium sized arteries. There is good evidence that, pulse wave velocity relatively simple indicator changes in arterial properties. The calculated from recording by other methods like doppler tonometry tedious, time-consuming above all their reproducibility depends on operator skills. It requires intensive resource involvement. For epidemiological studies these are not suitable. aim our study was clinically evaluate validity new automatic device for that can be used such studies.
