This is the wave of arterial wall deformation as a result of cardiac ventricular ejection shock. The pulse wave is a deformation of the arterial wall (it is perpendicular to the axis of the artery) that propagates along the artery and diffuses throughout the arterial network.
Pulse wave propagation velocity (PWV) is a good reflection of arterial stiffness; the more rigid the artery, the faster the pulse wave speed and high.
Age, high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney failure and disease of the arteries increase the stiffness of the arteries.
Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor which is even better correlated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than classic risk factors (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, tobacco)
The predictive value of cardiovascular disease of VOP is proven.
The measurement of the VOP can participate in the screening and monitoring of patients at risk of cardiovascular disease.
