Large artery stiffness, assessed by carotid--femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events, commonly used for risk stratification.

Abstract

Large artery stiffness, assessed by carotid--femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events, commonly used for risk stratification. Currently, the reference device for noninvasive cfPWV is SphygmoCor but its cost and technically challenging use limit its diffusion in clinical practice. The aim of the work is to validate a new device for noninvasive assessment of cfPWV, ATHOS (Arterial sTiffness faitHful tOol aSsessment), designed in collaboration with the Politecnico di Torino, against the reference noninvasive method represented by SphygmoCor.
