Why the study?
Does a cuff-based assessment of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity provide comparable results to the standard tonometric method?
Does a cuff-based assessment of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity provide comparable results to the standard tonometric method?
A novel cuff-based method for assessing carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity provides results comparable to the standard tonometric method when adjusted for the additional femoral segment.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Cuff-based cfPWV may serve as a practical alternative after adjustment; leaves open outcome validation before routine use.
This study provided validation of a cuff-based assessment of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity against the universally accepted tonometric method. Adjusting the cuff-based method for the additional femoral segment measured gives results comparable to the tonometer-based method, for which the majority of population data exist to date.
