  • Abstract
    Pulse wave velocity is a marker of the state of health of the arterial system. We have developed a device (hardware unit and software) for concurrent determination of pulse-wave velocity in several parts of body (up to 18). Using this device we measured the change of pulse-wave velocity in the lower limbs when the subject is exposed to a specific load - “Head-up Tilt Test”.
