Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity in obese children and adolescents: The potential bias of tape distance measuring
Background: The recommendation for carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is to use a calliper to measure the aortic length as a straight line. In adults, it has been shown that tape follows the body contours potentially making the distance longer – ultimately a higher cfPWV – interpreted as a...
