| Abstract | Background Different methodologies for determination of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) exist. Distance (L) can be measured from carotid-femoral measurement sites (Ldirect) or obtained by subtracting carotid-sternum from sternum-femoral distances (Lsubtracted). Transit times are usually obtained either by detection of the maximal upstroke (Δtmaximal upstroke) or the foot (Δtintersecting tangent) of the waveform at the measurement sites. This study investigates conversion factors between PWV methodologies. Methods 3043 subjects in which both distance measurements were available were divided into model and validation groups (1502/1541 subjects, respectively). In the model population the main determinants of the ratiodistance = Lsubtracted/Ldirect were determined and a multivariate model was constructed. Estimated ratiodistance,est was used to convert from PWVdirect to PWVsubtracted,est in the validation population. PWVsubtracted,est was compared to measured PWVsubtracted. Ninety three subjects in which both transit times were available were divided into model and validation groups (46/47 subjects, respectively). In the model population a model for estimation of Δtmaximal upstroke,est from Δtintersecting tangent was constructed and used to estimate Δtmaximal upstroke,est in the validation population. Δtmaximal upstroke,est was compared to measured Δtmaximal upstroke. Data are presented as mean(stdev). Results The main determinants of ratiodistance were age (R2 = 0.17) and BMI (R2 = 0.15) (combined: R2 = 0.27, all P<0.001). PWVsubtracted,est correlated well with PWVsubtracted (R = 0.97, P<0.001) with mean difference of 0.0007 (0.40) m/s. Δtmaximal upstroke,est correlated well with Δtmaximal upstroke,est (R = 0.82, P<0.001) and mean difference of 0.58 (1.03) m/s. Conclusions Differences in absolute PWV values are important to compensate for in order to compare between studies. The models proposed allow for such conversion. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
