Measurement of pressure dependent variations in local pulse wave velocity within a cardiac cycle from forward travelling pulse waves

Abstract The local pulse wave velocity (PWV) from large elastic arteries and its pressure-dependent changes within a cardiac cycle are potential biomarkers for cardiovascular risk stratification. However, pulse wave reflections can impair the accuracy of local PWV measurements. We propose a method t...
