Measurement Of Pulse Wave Velocity, Augmentation Index and Central Pulse Pressure In Atrial Fibrillation: A Proof Of Concept Study
Individualized weighing of the risk-benefit of anticoagulation is recommended in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) that have low established risk scores or, conversely, are at increased risk for bleeding. Parameters of arterial stiffness and wave reflection could improve risk stratification, but their use has not been evaluated in arrhythmia.
