In this brief review, we will introduce arterial stiffness, describe how it is currently measured and point to new developments that might lead towards arterial stiffness estimation outside of specialized clinics in the future. In almost all methods for measuring arterial stiffness, the arterial pulse plays an important role. Therefore, new developments are related to novel non-invasive sensors for acquiring the arterial pulse, simulation and modeling of the arterial pulse waves, parameter estimation of the stiffness parameters through physical models of the arterial pulse and machine learning methods for predicting the arterial stiffness.

动脉僵硬度评估的进展


在这篇简短的评论中，我们将介绍动脉僵硬度，描述目前如何测量它，并指出未来可能导致在专业诊所之外进行动脉僵硬度估计的新发展。在几乎所有测量动脉僵硬度的方法中，动脉搏动都起着重要作用。因此，新的发展涉及用于获取动脉脉搏的新型非侵入式传感器、动脉脉搏波的模拟和建模、通过动脉脉搏的物理模型对硬度参数进行参数估计以及用于预测动脉硬度的机器学习方法。
