Abstract
Foot-to-foot pulse wave velocity has been popularly used in the clinical assessment of the local elastic properties of arteries. The apparent phase velocity (capp) however contains considerable more information of vascular interaction. We investigated this latter noninvasively in normal and hypertensive subjects by means of a pair of matched fiber optic sensors applied to carotid and radial arteries. Results show that capp is higher at low than at high frequencies and with larger amplitudes and oscillations in hypertensives.
