Expert consensus document on arterial stiffness:
In recent years, great emphasis has been placed on the roleof arterial stiffness in the development of cardiovascular
(CV) diseases. Indeed, the assessment of arterial stiffness
is increasingly used in the clinical assessment of patients.
Although several papers have previously addressed the
methodological issues concerning the various indices of
arterial stiffness currently available, and their clinical applications,
1–7 clinicians and researchers still report difficulties
in selecting the most appropriate methodology for their
specific use. This paper summarizes the proceedings of
several meetings of the European Network for Non-invasive
Investigation of Large Arteries. A Medline research was
performed to identify the relevant literature concerning
arterial stiffness, wave reflection, and pressure wave analysis.
The reference list was then contrasted with the authors’
database. This consensus document is aimed at providing an
updated and practical overview of the most relevant
mathodological aspects and clinical applications in this area.
