文摘To the Editor:Arterial stiffness signifies early structural and functional changes in the arterial wall.Pulse wave velocity(PWV)stands out as the most validated method for noninvasive arterial stiffness quantification,serving as the gold standard for assessing aortic stiffness.PWV estimates the transit time of the pulse between waves at distinct sites in the vascular tree.
