The methodology of the gold standard for measuring aortic stiffness, carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), has been revised in respect to the choice of distance measure. In order to clarify whether increased aortic stiffness is present in obese children and adolescents we investigated cfPWV with the previous (cfPWV-subtracted) and a newly revised methodology (cfPWV-direct).In a cross-sectional...
The recommendation for carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is to use a calliper to measure the aortic length as a straight line. In adults, it has been shown that tape follows the body contours potentially making the distance longer – ultimately a higher cfPWV – interpreted as a higher aortic stiffness. Our objective was to investigate to what extent a tape measurement is influenced by abdominal...
