Reproducibility of oscillometrically measured arterial stiffness indices: Results of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study

Abstract

Oscillometric arterial stiffness measurement by CAVI and baPWV has proved to be highly reproducible in Caucasians. Results of the pAI showed lower reproducibility. CAVI and baPWV can be implemented as easy-to-apply arterial stiffness measures in population wide cardiovascular risk assessment in Caucasians.
