Is central pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) more accurate than regional PWV in assessing arterial stiffness in the geriatric population?
Central pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is a more accurate measure of arterial stiffness than regional PWV in geriatric patients.
= 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.
