Crucial importance of using a sliding calliper to measure distance for carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity assessment.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Blood pressure (BP) variability (BPV) may offer independent prognostic information. However, data supporting this notion are inconsistent, and this may be due to the wide variety of methodologies used for measuring BPV. A systematic analysis on the effect of BPV methodologies on BPV itself has never been und...
