pulse wave velocity slaulede Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a measurement of arterial stiffness that is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. It can be measured simply and noninvasively by measuring the carotid and femoral pulse pressures and the time delay between the two or by other methods relying on pulse-wave analysis. arterial stiffness measurement PMID:32088716 2021-05-20T15:30:59Z EFO:0004724 Carotid–femoral PWV EFO:0004517 PWV CMO:0003717 clinical_measurement_ontology carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity calculated pulse pressure measurement
