CLINICAL IMPLICATION OF PULSE WAVE ANALYSIS
Journal Title: Acta Facultatis Medicae Naissensis - Year 2010, Vol 27, Issue 3
Abstract
Systemic Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a useful marker of target organ damage in hypertensive patients. It is used as a gold standard because of large body of evidence demonstrating its association with incident cardiovascular disease independently of traditional risk factors. Central blood pressure values (systolic, diastolic blood pressure, augmentation index) could be used in decision making what antihypertensive agent should we use. There are several techniques, most popular of which is applanation tonometry. Recently, normal and reference values have been published.
