Measurement of pulse wave velocity in children: comparison of volumetric and tonometric sensors, brachial-femoral and carotid-femoral pathways

BACKGROUND: Pulse wave velocity (PWV), a measure of arterial stiffness strongly predictive of cardiovascular risk in adults, is usually measured by sequential ECG-referenced carotid and femoral tonometry. A simplified technique, more suitable for use in children, employs simultaneous volumetric reco...
