- Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is well established as surrogate marker for arterial stiffness; major health risk. PWV has traditionally been measured as the average speed of the wave between two sites. In this British Heart Foundation funded work we argued that measurements in the ascending aorta will give more meaningful value of PWV to indicate left ventricular load. We present for the first time a technique to determination local PWV using ultrasound technology, widely available in all healthcare providers. As a result of this work, I was invited to give a keynote at the annual conference of ARTERY in 2018.
