Brief Description |
PulseTrace PWV measures Arterial Stiffness between two locations of the arterial tree. It uses a Doppler probe to identify the arrival of the arterial pulse to calculate the Pulse Wave Velocity. This is the ‘gold-standard’ method for arterial stiffness measurement. Its uses include:
• Risk stratification
• Monitoring disease progression
• Evaluating treatment
Aortic arterial stiffness as measured by PWV between the carotid and femoral arteries (PWVcf ) is an independent predictor of cardiovasc |
