The assessment of carotid–femoral distance for aortic pulse wave velocity: Should it be estimated from body height?☆
Background: Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) can be biased by the measurement of carotid–femoral (c-f) distance on body surface. We wondered whether the estimation of distance according to body height could be used. Methods: Three cohorts of altogether 596 subjects (mean age 58.9 years) were studie...
