Pulse wave velocity

Pulse wave velocity is an auxiliary test used to check whether arterial blood vessels are normal. Arterial stiffness has been considered as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and can independently predict hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, end-vascular nephropathy, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality and mortality in natural populations. Ventricular hypertrophy, stroke, and dementia are related, so detecting arteriosclerosis has important clinical significance. The non-invasive detection of arteriosclerosis has been paid more and more attention to the clinical significance of evaluating early vascular disease. The cervical femoral pulse wave velocity is the "gold standard" for detecting arteriosclerosis. True and reliable measurements ensure the accuracy and credibility of scientific research results. Through this examination, the corresponding symptoms can be judged.
