Rapid and automated risk stratification by determination of the aortic stiffness in healthy subjects and subjects with cardiovascular disease.

Rapid and automated risk stratification by determination of the aortic stiffness in healthy subjects and subjects with cardiovascular disease.

<h4>Background</h4>Aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality; thus, simple, rapid and preferably automated techniques are indispensable for pursuing a global risk stratification approach. We present an oscillometric technique for determination...
