Brief summary
Our group has developed a device called Velocidad Onda de Pulso Indice Tobillo Brazo (VOPITB) . In this device the oscillometric method is used for easily and accurately measure the pulse wave velocity PWV in the arms and legs separately, allowing new arterial stiffness indices to be studied (sum, difference, ratio, baPWV and CAVI). The aim of our study will be to validate the PWV measures by VOPITB with other references devices that measures arterial stiffness. Moreover we will perform a clinical study to assess the clinical utility of VOPITB.
