世界范围内心血管（CV）疾病的高发病率促使人们寻找新的解决方案，以便能够早期发现病理过程，并根据多参数评估提供更精确的诊断。脉搏波速度（PWV）被认为是评价心血管风险、血管适应性和治疗效果最重要的临床参数之一。有几项研究致力于寻找不同疾病中PWV测量与病理状态的关系，并证明了该参数的相关性。专用于PWV估计的商用设备进行区域评估（在两根血管之间测量），然而局部测量是更精确的动脉状况评估，考虑到动脉结构的差异。此外，由于接触性质，目前的器件存在一些局限性。心血管监测的新兴趋势正在从更具侵入性的技术转向非侵入性和非接触式解决方案。最大的挑战是探索新的仪器解决方案，以更少的近似值和相对便宜的技术进行PWV评估，以便在临床常规中使用。
The great incidence of cardiovascular (CV) diseases in the world spurs the search for new solutions to enable an early detection of pathological processes and provides more precise diagnosis based in multi-parameters assessment. The pulse wave velocity (PWV) is considered one of the most important clinical parameters for evaluate the CV risk, vascular adaptation, and therapeutic efficacy. Several studies were dedicated to find the relationship between PWV measurement and pathological status in different diseases, and proved the relevance of this parameter. The commercial devices dedicate to PWV estimation make a regional assessment (measured between two vessels), however a local measurement is more precise evaluation of artery condition, taking into account the differences in the structure of arteries. Moreover, the current devices present some limitations due to the contact nature. Emerging trends in CV monitoring are moving away from more invasive technologies to non-invasive and non-contact solutions. The great challenge is to explore the new instrumental solutions that allow the PWV assessment with fewer approximations for an accurately evaluation and relatively inexpensive techniques in order to be used in the clinical routine.
