...Amira Tairi; Hasan Obeid; Saliha Addour; Mark Butlin; Alberto P. Avolio; Catherine Fortier; Mohsen Agharazii Introduction: Aortic stiffness, assessed through carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Measurements...

...Gary L. Pierce Background: Aortic stiffness, quantified by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease events. In general, dynamic “aerobic” exercise training performed regularly for many years in middle and older age is associated with an attenuated...

...Byung Sik Kim; Hyun-Jin Kim; Jeong-Hun Shin Introduction: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with vascular dysfunction, one of the signs of which is arterial stiffness. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), which is considered the gold standard measure of arterial stiffness...

... stiffness is a progressive aging process that predicts cardiovascular disease. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) has emerged as a noninvasive, valid, and reliable measure of arterial stiffness and an independent risk predictor for adverse outcomes. However, up to now, PWV measurement has mostly been used as a tool...

.... In general, European Guidelines recognize pulse wave velocity (PWV) as a marker of target organ damage but do not recommend its systematic use in general population. Asian guidelines consider PWV as a recommended test at diagnosis of hypertension, in contrast to North American guidelines that do not state...

... a potential sympathoexcitatory stimulus which increases aortic pulse wave velocity and the aortic augmentation index, suggesting that noninvasively, arterial stiffness parameters are altered by the CPT. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is widely used for reflecting arterial stiffness, and the ankle...

...Ruchada Sri-amad; Nawiya Huipao; Piyapong Prasertsri; Thapanee Roengrit Metabolic syndrome is an important health problem associated with both subclinical atherosclerosis and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and it leads to an elevated total mortality. Aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV...

...Dalene Erasmus; Carina M.C. Mels; Roan Louw; J. Zander Lindeque; Ruan Kruger Background and Aims: Black boys (6–8 years of age) were shown to have higher pulse wave velocity with potential early vascular compromise. We aimed to compare predefined urinary metabolites in black and white boys...

...Tomoyuki Kabutoya; Kazuomi Kario Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) are measurements of arterial stiffness and are widely used as indices of arteriosclerosis. In Japan, brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) is generally used to measure PWV, and while the reference value...

...Catherine Fortier; Marie-Pier Desjardins; Mohsen Agharazii Background: Aortic stiffness, measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV), is used for the prediction of cardiovascular risk. This mini-review describes the nonlinear relationship between cf-PWV and operational blood pressure...

..., carotid femoral pulse wave velocity. Methods: The prospective analysis employed 508 community-dwelling participants (mean age 61 years, 60% women) from the Maine-Syracuse Longitudinal Study. Pulse wave velocity at wave 7 (2006-2010) was compared between those with type 2 diabetes mellitus at wave 6 (2001...

... aortic pressure Chronic kidney disease Pulse wave velocity Augmentation index Incorporating a measurement such as arterial stiffness into clinical research and clinical care requires proficiency in performing such measurements, and knowledge of what the data derived during the measurement...

... disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether chocolate intakes are independently associated with pulse wave velocity (PWV), after adjustment for cardiovascular, lifestyle and dietary factors. Methods: Prospective analyses were undertaken on 508 community-dwelling participants (mean age 61...

...Toru Miyoshi; Hiroshi Ito Background: Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease. Although measurement of pulse wave velocity is a widely accepted, noninvasive approach for the assessment of arterial stiffness, its accuracy is affected...

...Yi-Bang Cheng; Yan Li; Chang-Sheng Sheng; Qi-Fang Huang; Ji-Guang Wang Background: Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) is increasingly used for the measurement of arterial stiffness. In the present study, we quantified the interrelationship between brachial-ankle and carotid-femoral PWV...

...Masanori Munakata Background: The populations of many developed countries are becoming progressively older. In aged societies, assessment of total vascular risk is critically important, because old age is usually associated with multiple risks. In this regard, pulse wave velocity (PWV) could...

..., the vascular, physiological, and metabolic roles of arterial stiffness in cerebral small vessel diseases remain unclear. Summary: Arterial stiffness can be assessed using various indicators such as the ankle-brachial index, pulse wave velocity, cardio-ankle vascular index, and augmentation index. Arterial...

.... The present review focuses on the existing association between Lp(a) and arterial stiffness parameters. Summary: This review included human clinical studies that were published between 1980 and 2015. The metrics of arterial stiffness parameters, ‘pulse wave velocity' (PWV) and ‘cardio-ankle vascular index...

...Kristina Petersen; Natalie Blanch; Jennifer Keogh; Peter Clifton We have recently conducted a meta-analysis to determine the effect of weight loss achieved by an energy-restricted diet with or without exercise, anti-obesity drugs or bariatric surgery on pulse wave velocity (PWV) measured at all...
