Evaluation of Arterial Stiffness Parameters Measurement With Noninvasive Methods-A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Arterial stiffness, as determined by pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a recognized marker of cardiovascular risk. Noninvasive technologies have enabled easier and more accessible assessments of PWV. The current gold standard for measuring carotid-femoral PWV (cfPWV)-a reliable indicator of arterial stiffness-utilizes applanation tonometry devices, as recommended by the Artery Society Guidelines. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of various noninvasive arterial stiffness measurement methods, specifically the Mobil-O-Graph and SphygmoCor/SphygmoCor XCEL, and evaluate their alignment with the Artery Society Guidelines for accuracy and reliability. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in the PubMed and Scopus databases to identify studies
