Supports non-invasive arterial phenotyping in research; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Ultrasound provides a widely available, non-invasive method to assess arterial mechanical properties and monitor arterial health and disease.
Hoeks et al. (1999) conducted a review in Arterial mechanical properties in health and disease. Non-invasive ultrasound techniques was evaluated. Non-invasive ultrasound techniques enable the assessment of arterial wall thickness, diastolic diameter, distension waveform, and pulse wave velocity in humans and small animals.
