Arterial stiffness is a valuable biomarker for predicting cardiovascular events, and newer measurement techniques offer improved simplicity and repeatability.
Arterial stiffness modeling via pulse wave velocity requires validation before clinical adoption; leaves open standardization of measurement techniques.
: Arterial Stiffness (AS) is of great interest in the prediction and the management of cardiovascular events. The evaluation of AS using 2 points of measurement of the pulse wave velocity was of considerable increasing interest in the early 21st century. This paper aimed at focusing on the modeling of different measurement methods. Several measurement techniques are presented. A review of the bibliography and an explanation of the link between cardiovascular events and arterial stiffness are summarized. Novel apparatus that were developed for determining arterial stiffness claimed superiority over pioneering methods either through greater simplicity of use, better repeatability, or a more pertinent arterial pathway.
