P6.03 SIMULTANEOUS UPPER ARM AND THIGH CUFF PULSE VOLUME RECORDING FOR RAPID ESTIMATION OF CENTRAL PULSE WAVE VELOCITY: COMPARISON WITH CAROTID-FEMORAL TONOMETRY
Objectives: Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is usually estimated by sequential (ECG referenced) carotid-femoral tonometry using the SphygmoCor system (Atcor, Australia). This can be technically challenging and operator dependant. Here we evaluate a simple, operator independent method of estimating...
