Abstract
Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a noninvasive technique that can estimate aortic stiffness or organic change quantitatively. The authors examined the correlation between age and the PWV value in 113 subjects and also examined the relationship between ather osclerotic associated diseases and PWV. A positive correlation was observed between age and the PWV value. No significant difference was found in the PWV value between groups with and without risk factors of atherosclerosis. No significant difference was observed in the PWV value between groups with and without a history of atherosclerotic disease.Keywords
