Key result
A novel, noninvasive method using piezoelectric sensors was developed to assess the regional stiffness of small conduit arteries via radial-digital pulse wave velocity.
Why the study?
Understanding the behavior of pressure and flow waves along the arterial tree requires assessing the stiffness interaction among various arterial segments.
This novel noninvasive method allows for the assessment of small conduit artery stiffness, facilitating an integrated approach to studying arterial stiffness gradients.

May enable noninvasive assessment of small-artery stiffness gradients; leaves open validation and prognostic utility in prospective studies.
The interaction between the stiffness of various arterial segments is important in understanding the behavior of pressure and flow waves along the arterial tree. In this article, we provide a novel and noninvasive method of assessing the regional stiffness of small conduit arteries using the same piezoelectric sensors used for determination of pulse wave velocity over large- and medium-sized arteries. This development allows for an integrated approach for studying arterial stiffness gradient.
