P165 EVALUATING CAROTID FEMORAL PULSE WAVE VELOCITY MEASURED BY CUFF-BASED APPROACH AGAINST THE TONOMETRY-BASED REFERENCE STANDARD IN A PAEDIATRIC POPULATION

P165 EVALUATING CAROTID FEMORAL PULSE WAVE VELOCITY MEASURED BY CUFF-BASED APPROACH AGAINST THE TONOMETRY-BASED REFERENCE STANDARD IN A PAEDIATRIC POPULATION

Background: Carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is directly associated with arterial stiffness in major elastic arteries and predicts future cardiovascular events (1). Little is known of cfPWV as a marker of vascular health in children. Semi-automated cuff-based devices for assessing cfPWV a...
