P6.18 CAROTID-FEMORAL PULSE WAVE VELOCITY ESTIMATED BY AN ULTRASOUND SYSTEM
To date, regional aortic stiffness can be evaluated by the reference tonometric technique via the pulse wave velocity (PWV) measured in two points: the carotid and the femoral arteries. Based on a similar intersecting tangent algorithm, we have developed a new method for the determination of carotid...
