The dicrotic notch as alternative time-reference point to measure local pulse wave velocity in the carotid artery by means of ultrasonography
Journal of Hypertension, 09/28/09
Hermeling E et al. – PWVdn is a noninvasive and suitable measure of arterial stiffness: it has a good reproducibility, discriminates well between age groups, and correlates with local distensibility. PWVdn does not require additional assessment of distance or local pulse pressure. Furthermore, PWVdn is measured locally, at near–mean arterial pressure, thereby better reflecting the effective arterial stiffness, which determines the load the left ventricle is subjected to as it ejects blood.
