Standardization of a new non-invasive device for assessment of arterial stiffness in rats: Correlation with age-related arteries’ structure

Standardization of a new non-invasive device for assessment of arterial stiffness in rats: Correlation with age-related arteries’ structure

ABSTRACT: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) has become a gold standard index to quantify the stiffness of the aorta and is a predictor of cardiovascular events. A recent paper compared the pOpmètreⓇ, a device for measuring the finger-toe PWV, with other techniques and demonstrated its accuracy and validity....
