A Non-invasive, Easy to Use Medical Device for Arterial Stiffness

Arterial stiffness is classified as a useful marker of early vascular damaging and a predictor of cardiovascular events in young people. We aimed to present the efficacy of a non invasive device in cardiovascular diseases prevention. Using the Arteriograph device, it was performed a cross sectional, non-invasive study in 313 healthy students. Non-invasive screening of apparently healthy young subjects with high WTH ratio values may be beneficial for detecting early, asymptomatic arterial atherosclerosis.
