Does a novel method of determining pulse transit time from waveform decomposition of central aortic pressure using a single pulse measurement accurately estimate aortic pulse wave velocity compared to standard carotid-femoral measurements?
A novel noninvasive method using waveform decomposition of a single central aortic pressure pulse can accurately estimate aortic pulse wave velocity, showing good agreement with standard carotid-femoral measurements.
