P5.14 THIGH-CUFF BASED MEASUREMENT OF AORTIC PULSE WAVE VELOCITY: INITIAL TESTING OF A NOVEL VASERA PROTOTYPE DEVICE

Introduction: Fully automated cuff-based devices have been developed for the assessment of arterial stiffness via pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement, such as the VaSera device (Fukuda Denshi). To date, measurements were confined to the heart-to-ankle segment, yielding PWV and stiffness indices th...
