Abstract
Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), a surrogate marker of arterial stiffness, is associated with cardiovascular mortality and vascular atherosclerotic burden. The Bramwell-Hill equation links PWV with arterial compliance. Pulse wave imaging (PWI) is a noninvasive technique developed by our group for tracking the propagation of pulse waves along the arterial wall at high spatial and temporal resolution. It has been previously enhanced to track piecewise PWVs (pPWVs) and produce PWI compliance maps. This study aims to use PWI to characterize the carotid arteries of healthy, atherosclerotic and post endarterectomy subjects and assess its utility as a monitoring tool.
