Key result
An improved pulse wave velocity method for estimating blood pressure achieved greater accuracy during exercise, with a root mean square error of 8.6 mmHg compared to 10.1 mmHg for the conventional method.
Why the study?
Does an improved PWV calculation method improve the accuracy and precision of continuous blood pressure monitoring compared to the conventional PWV method?
Does an improved PWV calculation method improve the accuracy and precision of continuous blood pressure monitoring compared to the conventional PWV method?
Absolute Event Rate: 8.6% vs 10.1%

Should not yet change practice; leaves open prospective validation of refined PWV methods.
Lopez et al. (2010) studied Healthy (n=11). Improved pulse wave velocity (PWV) blood pressure estimation method vs. Conventional PWV method was evaluated on Root mean square error (RMSE) of systolic blood pressure estimation during exercise. An improved pulse wave velocity method for estimating blood pressure achieved greater accuracy during exercise, with a root mean square error of 8.6 mmHg compared to 10.1 mmHg for the conventional method.
