P2.26 ASSESSING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CARDIO-ANKLE VASCULAR INDEX (CAVI) AND ITS PWV FOR ARTERIAL FUNCTION – ARM-LEG DIFFERENCES AND REPEATABILITY
Background: Vasera is a machine developed to evaluate arterial stiffness by measuring pulse wave velocity (PWV) and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), apparently independent of blood pressure (BP). The 4-cuff device measures right (R) and left (L) brachial and ankle BP, deriving the CAVI value and...
