| Abstract | In the search for better predictors of cardiovascular events, pulse wave velocity (PWV) has gained considerable interest. We compared three single-location methods to locally estimate PWV based on simultaneous measurements of pressure (P), velocity (U) or arterial diameter (D): the PU, ln(D)U and QA-method. First, the performance of these methods was analyzed using 3D fluid–structure interaction simulations (FSI) in a tube and patient-specific carotid artery. We demonstrated that the outcome was dependent on whether the methods were tested in the ideal conditions of a 3D axisymmetrical and reflection-free tube or in the more realistic setup of a carotid artery. The three single-location PWV methods performed similarly in the tube (4.29 m/s for PU, 4.44 m/s for ln(D)U and 4.38 m/s for QA) while the carotid data showed that the PU-method dramatically overestimates PWV (9.16 m/s), and the ln(D)U and QA-method underestimate (3.86 and 3.84 m/s, respectively). The erroneously high wavespeeds from the PU-method were attributed to wave reflections, which was confirmed by measurements in 37 healthy adults. This in vivo study showed similar discrepancies between the 3 single-location techniques as present in the carotid simulations, with the difference between the PU- and ln(D)U-method related to the magnitude of wave reflection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
