Key result
The Arteriograph oscillometric method for assessing arterial stiffness showed highly significant correlations with SphygmoCor (r=0.67) and Complior (r=0.69) for pulse wave velocity (P<0.001).

Supports Arteriograph as potential PWV alternative; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Cross-Sectional (n=51)
Does the Arteriograph oscillometric method accurately measure arterial stiffness compared to established tonometric and piezo-electronic systems in patients?
Effect estimate: r = 0.67 (SphygmoCor) and r = 0.69 (Complior) for PWV; r = 0.92 for AIx
p-value: p=<0.001
The Arteriograph provides a valid, easy-to-use oscillometric alternative to established tonometric methods for assessing arterial stiffness.
Baulmann et al. (2008) reported a cross-sectional. Arteriograph vs. SphygmoCor and Complior was evaluated on Correlation of pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx) (r = 0.67 (SphygmoCor) and r = 0.69 (Complior) for PWV; r = 0.92 for AIx, p=<0.001). The Arteriograph oscillometric method for assessing arterial stiffness showed highly significant correlations with SphygmoCor (r=0.67) and Complior (r=0.69) for pulse wave velocity (P<0.001).
