Relationship between the Central and Regional Pulse Wave Velocity in the Assessment of Arterial Stiffness Depending on Gender in the Geriatric Population

Structured PICO

Is central pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) more accurate than regional PWV in assessing arterial stiffness in the geriatric population?

Population

Geriatric population

Intervention

Central pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) measurement

Comparator

Regional pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement using MPPT

Outcome

Accuracy in assessing arterial stiffnesssurrogate

Central pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is a more accurate measure of arterial stiffness than regional PWV in geriatric patients.

Abstract

= 0.001). In the measurement of regional PWV values using MPPT, no such relationship was found. Gender groups did not statistically differ in the distribution of atherosclerosis risk factors. cfPWV appears to be more accurate than regional PWV in assessing arterial stiffness in the geriatric population.
