Abstract
This article presents e-PWV, a web application for the determination of Pulse Wave Velocity () running on a web platform called . e-PWV has been applied on signals recorded by an ultrasound system (, Aloka, Japan) and representing the arterial diameter changes in carotid and femoral sites. measurements were compared to recorded by a tonometric technique (, PulsePen, Italy). The study was conducted on 120 patients. We found an excellent correlation of r = 0.95 between et (; 95% confidence interval of 0.91–0.96; ). We observed a small offset of ms on the Bland-Altman plot with a limit of agreement from to 1.54 ms. Our results suggest that e-PWV application can produce online a reliable marker of the regional aortic stiffness using an echotracking system.
