Vital sign accuracy may depend on body position, research suggests
In this study, researchers explored whether measuring carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity—the time it takes for the pulse to travel from the carotid to the femoral artery—can be considered ...

Effect of 12 weeks of moderate–intensity resistance training on arterial stiffness: a randomised controlled trial in women aged 32–59 years
Interestingly, aortic (carotid–femoral) pulse wave velocity (PWV; an index of arterial stiffness), and peripheral (femoral–ankle) PWV did not change with moderate-intensity resistance training. In ...
