Brief review
May enable wider arterial stiffness assessment; leaves open clinical adoption pending prospective validation.
In this brief review, we will introduce arterial stiffness, describe how it is currently measured and point to new developments that might lead towards arterial stiffness estimation outside of specialized clinics in the future. In almost all methods for measuring arterial stiffness, the arterial pulse plays an important role. Therefore, new developments are related to novel non-invasive sensors for acquiring the arterial pulse, simulation and modeling of the arterial pulse waves, parameter estimation of the stiffness parameters through physical models of the arterial pulse and machine learning methods for predicting the arterial stiffness.
