A correlational study of bioimpedance signals from the left and right limbs in assessment of arterial stiffness
摘要
We report here an evaluation of the effectiveness of multichannel bioimpedance devices for measuring pulse wave velocity as an indicator of arterial stiffness, an important factor in assessing cardiovascular risk. The study used the REO-32 multichannel electrical impedance system and the Vasera VS-1500 sphygmometer to compare pulse wave velocity measurements in different limb segments. The results demonstrated a high correlation between these instruments, particularly in lower limb measurements. The study highlights the potential of bioimpedance technology to provide detailed and timely data across different body segments, improving prognostic opportunities for the diagnosis of cardiovascular health.
