TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established reference and normal values for Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), a direct measure of aortic stiffness, based on a large European population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Applications of Arterial Stiffness, Task Force III: Recommendations for User Procedures
Luc M. Van Bortel,Luc M. Van Bortel,Daniel Duprez,Mirian J. Starmans-Kool,Michel E. Safar,Christina Giannattasio,John R. Cockcroft,Daniel R. Kaiser,Christian Thuillez +8 more
TL;DR: In vivo arterial stiffness is a dynamic property based on vascular function and structure that is influenced by confounding factors like blood pressure, age, gender, body mass index, heart rate, and treatment, so standardization of the measurement conditions is imperative.
