Why the study?
Does the QPV interval measured by Doppler ultrasound accurately estimate arterial stiffness compared to baPWV in hypertensive and normotensive subjects?
Does the QPV interval measured by Doppler ultrasound accurately estimate arterial stiffness compared to baPWV in hypertensive and normotensive subjects?
The QPV interval measured by Doppler ultrasound is a simple and convenient index that correlates inversely with baPWV for assessing arterial stiffness.
