Estimation of Aortic Stiffness with Bramwell–Hill Equation: A Comparative Analysis with Carotid–Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity

Estimation of Aortic Stiffness with Bramwell–Hill Equation: A Comparative Analysis with Carotid–Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity

Aortic stiffness is an important clinical parameter for predicting cardiovascular events. Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) has been proposed for performing this evaluation non-invasively; however, it requires dedicated equipment and experienced operators. We explored the possibility of m...
