Acute Changes in Carotid-Femoral Pulse-Wave Velocity Are Tracked by Heart-Femoral Pulse-Wave Velocity

Background: Carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity (cfPWV) is the reference standard measure of central arterial stiffness. However, it requires assessment of the carotid artery, which is technically challenging, and subject-level factors, including carotid artery plaque, may confound measurements. A p...
