P1.01 PULSE WAVE VELOCITY: HOW TO ASSESS THE DISTANCE?

Objective: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is accepted as the standard technique to assess aortic stiffness. While the carotid-femoral transit time can be assessed with high accuracy, the measurement of the aortic length is, however, less accurate. Several approaches for measuring aortic length over the b...
