Small intra-individual variability of the pre-ejection period justifies the use of pulse transit time as approximation of the vascular transit

BACKGROUND: Vascular transit time (VTT) is the propagation time of a pulse wave through an artery; it is a measure for arterial stiffness. Because reliable non-invasive VTT measurements are difficult, as an alternative we measure pulse transit time (PTT). PTT is defined as the time between the R-wav...
