Why the study?
Is mercury strain-gauge plethysmography a reliable non-invasive technique for evaluating pulse wave velocity in human peripheral arteries?
Is mercury strain-gauge plethysmography a reliable non-invasive technique for evaluating pulse wave velocity in human peripheral arteries?
Mercury strain-gauge plethysmography is a potentially valuable non-invasive technique for diagnostic evaluation of pulse wave velocity in peripheral arteries.
May support non-invasive PWV research; leaves open diagnostic adoption pending validation.
The reliability of a non-invasive technique that can be applied locally was tested. This technique, mercury strain-gauge plethysmography, involves obtaining pulse signals from each of 2 strain-gauges placed around the limb at a separation of 10 cm. It is concluded that the technique has great value and could be used in the future for diagnostic purposes.
