Impact of Central Obesity on the Estimation of Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity

BACKGROUND Studies have found that central obesity is associated with higher carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV). However, traveled distance (TD) measured over the body surface can be substantially overestimated with wider waist circumference (WC). We sought to investigate whether central obes...
