2007 Guidelines for the Management of Arterial Hypertension: The Task Force for the Management of Arterial Hypertension of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) (2007, background): “Carotid-femoral PWV is the ‘gold standard’ for measuring aortic stiffness [138].”
Expert consensus document on the measurement of aortic stiffness in daily practice using carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity. (2012, background): “M arteries like the aorta independently predicts cardiovascular risk [1–3].”
Aortic pulse wave velocity improves cardiovascular event prediction: an individual participant meta-analysis of prospective observational data from 17,635 subjects (2013, methodology): “Aortic stiffness can be assessed in a number of ways, but aPWV is regarded as the current gold standard (9) and has the most evidence available linking it to cardiovascular risk.”
Towards Ubiquitous Blood Pressure Monitoring via Pulse Transit Time: Theory and Practice (2015, methodology): “…1) reliably estimate aortic PWV in order to assess cardiovascular risk independent of BP more conveniently than traditionally employed tonometry [126]; 2) track BP changes (rather than BP levels) to help control BP in patients with known hypertension; and 3) indicate whether BP levels are not…”
