Derivation of Cp in healthy volunteers supports further development of non-invasive distensibility assessment; leaves open validation in clinical populations.
Can a blood pressure independent index of aortic distensibility (Cp) be derived and measured using non-invasive Doppler ultrasound?
A novel blood pressure-independent index of aortic distensibility (Cp) measured via Doppler ultrasound may serve as a useful non-invasive tool for assessing susceptibility to atheromatous arterial disease.
Lehmann et al. (1993) studied this question.
