Key result
The Arteriograph device demonstrated the least variance for assessing pulse wave velocity but had poor agreement with the Complior, SphygmoCor, and Vicorder devices.
Why the study?
How do the four main non-invasive devices for assessing pulse wave velocity compare in terms of variance and agreement?
Systematic Review (n=43)
How do the four main non-invasive devices for assessing pulse wave velocity compare in terms of variance and agreement?
While the Arteriograph device shows the least variance in measuring pulse wave velocity, its poor agreement with other devices highlights the need for standardized measurement methods and reference values.

Arteriograph PWV values cannot substitute for other devices; challenges interchangeability and supports device-specific standardization.
Davies et al. (2012) conducted a systematic review in Arterial stiffness (n=43). Complior, SphygmoCor, Arteriograph, and Vicorder devices was evaluated on Device variance and agreement. The Arteriograph device demonstrated the least variance for assessing pulse wave velocity but had poor agreement with the Complior, SphygmoCor, and Vicorder devices.
