Key result
Anatomical parameter R reduces individual variability in PWV measurements by accounting for arterial lengths.
Why the study?
Individual variability in pulse wave velocity measurement may be influenced by anatomical differences in arterial tree length, which requires adjustment.
Does the introduction of an individual anatomical parameter R reduce individual variability in the measurement of pulse wave velocity in humans?

May support refined PWV precision via parameter R; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
Does the introduction of an individual anatomical parameter R reduce individual variability in the measurement of pulse wave velocity in humans?
Incorporating an individual anatomical parameter that accounts for arterial lengths reduces variability in pulse wave velocity measurements.
Corte et al. (1979) studied this question. An individual anatomical parameter R, accounting for aorta and iliac-femoral-tibial artery lengths, reduces individual variability in pulse wave velocity measurements.
