| Abstract | Background Several so-called loop-based methods, have been proposed to estimate local pulse wave velocity (PWV). However, previous studies have demonstrated inaccuracies in local PWV-estimates due to presence of reflections, which led to the proposition of a frequency-domain correction method [1]. The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of PWV-estimates from different loop methods throughout the human arterial tree. Methods The output data of a validated one-dimensional (1D) model of the human systemic circulation [2] was used to simulate the physiological signals needed on the estimations of local PWV methods, and this for model settings representing a young and an aged individual (stiffness increased by factor 2). Local PWV by the PU-loop, ln(D)U-loop, ln(D)P-loop, QA-loop and the frequency-domain (PWV1-5) methods, were compared against the reference value obtained from the Bramwell-Hill equation. Results Figure 1 shows the deviation (%) of loop-based estimates of PWV and PWV1-5 from the reference. The PU-loop overestimates PWV by more than 20% for most arterial sites, while the ln(D)U- and QA-loop underestimate to the same extent at these same locations. The correction method performs acceptably well in most of the young configuration. Discrepancies increase significantly in the aged model configuration for every studied method (except the ln(D)P-loop method). Conclusion The accuracy of loop-based methods is highly dependent on the location where they are applied, and results should be interpreted with great caution. Best results were obtained for the reflection- insensitive ln(D)P-loop method, but this method does not really provide an alternative for the Bramwell-Hill equation. |

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.
