A method for determining local pulse wave velocity in human ascending aorta from sequential ultrasound measurements of diameter and velocity

Background: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an indicator of arterial stiffness, and predicts cardiovascular events independently of blood pressure. Currently, PWV is commonly measured by the foot-to-foot technique thus giving a global estimate of large arterial stiffness. However, and despite its impor...
