Population

57 subjects (24 for pulse wave velocity, 33 for augmentation index) with and without a range of recognized cardiovascular risk factors

Intervention

Pulse wave analysis (PWA) using Sphygmocor to measure pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx)

Outcome

Reproducibility (within-observer and between-observer variability) of PWV and AIxsurrogate

Pulse wave analysis is a reproducible technique for measuring pulse wave velocity and augmentation index, supporting its use in large-scale clinical trials.
