Pulse Wave Velocity

Preferred Label : Pulse Wave Velocity;

NCIt related terms : PWV;

NCIt definition : The rate at which a pressure wave moves distally through an artery, which is a direct measure of arterial stiffness. Clinically, this value is calculated by placing two pressure catheters a known distance apart (pulse wave distance), measuring the pressure wave's travel time between sensors (pulse transit time), and then dividing the distance by the transit time.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: The distance traveled by the peak of the ventricular ejection pressure wave per unit of time.;
