Measuring the Carotid to Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (Cf-PWV) to Evaluate Arterial Stiffness
Published on: May 3, 2018
Abstract:
Epidemiologic examination of able-bodied population in Far North revealed time-matched averages and confidence intervals for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate in newcomers, individuals with normal and high blood pressure. Those results enable to diagnose arterial hypertension by time-related changes in blood pressure during epidemiologic studies.

Prepare for the Procedure:
Special considerations while measuring blood pressure
Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.
