Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), a measure of large artery stiffness, is an important predictor of cardiovascular (CV) events in general population and also in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In general population PWV is strongly associated with age and blood pressure (BP), findi...
PWV was determined using the SphygmoCor system (Atcor Australia) and CIMT measured 1 cm proximal to the flow divider by B-mode ultrasound. Plaque was quantified according to its presence at the carotid and femoral artery. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the relation between PWV,...
Several devices are available for carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) measurement, and a cut-off value for reference cfPWV has been established. However, discrepancies between devices have been reported.The aim of the study was to establish the concordance of two common techniques (Complior...
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and its risk factors may differ between various populations. Few studies have compared the risk profiles associated with cfPWV in different ethnic populations. The study population included 4321 subjects from Shanghai, China (n = 1272, age 75.0 ...
The carotid femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is considered the “gold standard” measurement of arterial stiffness. Pulse-wave analysis should be obtained at the central level, i.e. at the site of the carotid artery or the ascending aorta, and either directly recorded or computed from the ...
Arterial stiffness was estimated via assessment of carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV). Individuals with DM had increased mean cIMT, maximum cIMT, carotid plaque burden, and cfPWV compared to those without DM. After multivariable regression analysis, the presence of DM was still ...
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is an important predictor of cardiovascular events in the general population and also in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In the general population, cfPWV is strongly associated with age and blood pressure (BP). The best timing and method of BP measurement...
There is little available data on carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) in subjects with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). We aimed to analyze the association between SCH and cf-PWV using baseline data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). We included subject...
One-point carotid PWV obtained by the echo-tracking system implemented in the ultrasound machine was compared with the gold standard carotid–femoral PWV assessed with the SphygmoCor system (Model SCOR-Px, Software version 7.01; AtCor Medical, Sydney, NSW, Australia).10 Statistical analysis Summary ...
