| Abstract | Single-point methods such as the PU- and QA-loop methods are used to estimate local pulse wave velocity (PWV-PU and PWV-QA) in arteries from a combination of pressure (P), flow (Q), velocity (U) or cross-sectional area (A) waveforms. Available data indicate that the PU-loop method tends to overestimate PWV, while the QA-loop method tends to underestimate. Wave reflection has been suggested as a factor playing a role in the agreement between different methods. In this work, we (i) demonstrate the interference of wave reflection with the PU-loop method for both solitary sinusoidal waves as well as physiological waveforms; (ii) develop an operator-independent method to correct for the presence of reflections. Fluid-structure interaction simulations in a tube and carotid artery model with known mechanical properties confirm the theory. For the carotid artery model, PWV-PU severely overestimates PWV, while PWV-QA underestimates PWV. Correction (leading to an estimate termed PWV-corr) eliminates the impact of reflections. Finally, methods are applied in vivo in a subsample of the Asklepios population. Compared to PWV-PU and PWV-QA, PWV-corr leads to significantly better correlations of carotid PWV with PWV derived from carotid distensibility based on the Bramwell-Hill equation(with r2 improving from about 0.25 to 0.91). Neither the PU-loop nor the QA-loop method provides reliable estimates of local PWV in settings where wave reflections are present - even when the PU- or QA-loops show a linear segment. They offer no alternative for the Bramwell-Hill based approach and their application should therefore be discouraged, especially for the carotid artery. |

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.
