Researchers found that estimated Pulse Wave Velocity (ePWV), a readily available marker of arterial stiffness, has been shown to be an effective addition in identifying patients at risk of mortality ...

New research is suggesting that measuring the pulse wave at a menopausal woman’s wrist may explain the increase in cardiovascular disease risk during menopause better than a standard blood pressure ...

Since the aorta is the major component of arterial elasticity, the carotid-femoral PWV offers the simplest reproducible and noninvasive evaluation of regional stiffness. This measurement allows the ...

Measuring a menopausal woman's pulse wave at her wrist can detect circulatory system changes that aren't evident with blood pressure readings. Menopause's effect on these radial pulse wave harmonics ...
