26 Δεκ 2019 · An important reason may be the plethora of methods and devices claiming to measure arterial stiffness in humans. This brief review provides a concise overview of methods in use, indicating strengths and weaknesses.
24 Σεπ 2020 · With a more convenient, reliable, and accurate measurement of arterial stiffness, the widespread clinical application of arterial stiffness concept can be expected consequently.
16 Νοε 2021 · Prior to understanding the potential clinical utility of vascular measures, it is imperative to understand the basis and definition of arterial stiffness. The concept of stiffness in a flexible conduit is derived from the physical relationships between stress and strain.
Multiple techniques exist to assess arterial stiffness, including local distensibility (e.g., ultrasound and tonometry-measured carotid artery compliance), the carotid or aortic augmentation index, aortic distensibility by magnetic resonance imaging, and pulse-wave velocity (assessed between 2 arterial segments), as reviewed elsewhere. 24 – 26 O...
We classified and graded methods, highly weighing their scrutiny and purity in quantifying arterial stiffness, rather than focusing on their ease of application or the level at which methods have demonstrated their prognostic and diagnostic potential.
Assessment of arterial stiffness provides information about the long-term effects of blood pressure and heart rate. Measurement of aortic stiffness may provide better information about long-term average blood pressure and individual susceptibility to blood pressure progression and end organ damage, and hence improve the risk stratification.
