"OBJECTIVE: To assess the determination of large artery stiffness and pulse wave reflection in a population sample. METHODS: A 1% random population sample aged 25-65 years was selected in nine districts of the Czech Republic for a survey off cardiovascular risk factors (Czech post-MONICA). Of 891 individual screened in the Pilsen centre in the year 2000, arterial properties were studied in 291 (143 males and 148 females) using the Sphygmocor device. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the aorta and in the lowe limbs was measured to assess large artery stiffness. Wave reflection was assessed from radial pulse wave analysis; the main estimated parameter was peripheral augmentation index (PAI) defined as P2/P1 = ratio of pulse pressures measures at the peaks of secondary and primary waves." . .
