• Description: The traditional non-invasive method for the early detection of arteriosclerosis is the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV); however, this method is significantly influenced by blood pressure (BP) changes. Recently, a new non-invasive method for the arterial stiffness assessment was developed - the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI).
