Comparison of two different methodologies to assess pulse wave velocity (PWV) in two different cohorts.
(A) Correlation between estimated PWV and age in 129 Masters Athletes (empty circles) and in 24 AGBRESA study participants (black squares). (B) Regression analysis between the measured PWV and estimated PWV difference with age in 24 AGBRESA study participants. Estimated PWV deviated from measured PWV with increasing age (R² 0.44, p=0.07). (C) Quadratic regression analysis between estimated PWV and entered age in one man being in his 50s. We randomly entered age in decades from 20 to 80 and obtained measurements thrice at each entered age.
