Abstract:
Background/aims Measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV) in large vessels has been used extensively in clinical practice as an indirect measure of arterial stiffness and an indicator of cardiovascular risk factors. Arterial stiffness increases with age and in coronary artery disease. An in vivo clinical method to characterise arterial stiffness of the central microcirculation was developed. Methods Time-dependent alterations of retinal vessel diameter were examined by the dynamic vessel analyzer...     »
