Abstract :
Pulse wave velocity measurement (PWV) is non-invasive method to assess arterial stiffness. It is useful as a prevention of cardiovascular system diseases. This paper describes development and function of other possibility how to measure PWV. Device which is used for this study consists of dual channel hardware for photopletysmograph signal preprocessing, USB workstation for continuous conversion of measured data and data analyzing by LabView software. Output of the software is graphical user interface which displays measured signals and calculated values of pulse wave velocity.
