Riding the cardiac wave: The link between incremental pulse wave velocity and cardiovascular risk factors

Researchers have investigated using a new marker, incremental pulse wave velocity, that measures arterial wall dynamics to evaluate arterial stiffness, which may be possible to use in screening for cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major health concern. Arterial stiffening is known to be linked to CVD risk; therefore, establishing effective ways to measure this provides a novel way to screen populations and to detect early signs of CVD. Dr P M Nabeel, Dr Jayaraj Joseph, and Professor Mohanasankar Sivaprakasam at the Healthcare Technology Innovation Centre, Indian Institute of Technology […]
