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

Abstract: Background: Availability of a range of techniques and devices allow measurement of many variables related to the stiffness of large or medium sized arteries. There is good evidence that, pulse wave velocity is a relatively simple measurement and is a good indicator of changes in arterial properties. The pulse wave velocity calculated from pulse wave recording by other methods like doppler or tonometry is tedious, time-consuming and above all their reproducibility depends on the operator skills. It requires int… Show more

“…Our finding on the close interrelationship between brachial-ankle and carotid-femoral PWV is in line with the results of several previous studies [11,25,26]. In a multicenter study of 2,287 subjects, Tanaka et al [11] reported a correlation coefficient of 0.73 between brachial-ankle and carotid-femoral PWV.…”

“…In a multicenter study of 2,287 subjects, Tanaka et al [11] reported a correlation coefficient of 0.73 between brachial-ankle and carotid-femoral PWV. The corresponding correlation coefficients were 0.76 in healthy adults (n = 409) [25] and 0.99 in a study population of mixed normal healthy subjects (n = 24) and patients with coronary artery disease (n = 20) [26]. Taken together, the results of our and these previous studies suggest that brachial-ankle PWV and carotid-femoral PWV are closely correlated with correlation coefficients at a level similar to that for two repeated measurements of the same technique.…”

“…We suggested that measures of central pressure profile are not a surrogate for an actual measure of central arterial stiffness, though they do reflect arterial stiffness to a degree. On the contrary, PWV, in particular, is a very reproducible measurement as noted by others [34,35]. …”
