Pulse wave velocity, conventionally determined between the carotid and femoral arteries, is a useful measure to estimate stiffness of the aorta. We investigated local pulse wave velocity (LPWV) in different segments in the aorta with relatively early-stage atherosclerosis in relation to the extent and severity of atherosclerotic lesions.
