Simplified Pulse Wave Velocity Measurement, Validation Study of the pOpmètre in Children
Sponsor: Nantes University Hospital
Summary
Arterial stiffness is an important marker of cardiovascular risk. It is measured by pulse wave velocity. The reference device to measure pulse wave velocity is the Sphygmocor which uses applanation tonometry. It is used in adults and children. An easier method called pOpmètre using saturation sensors is validated in adults but not in children. The objective of this study is to compare the pulse wave velocity values measured with the pOpmètre® with those of the SphygmoCor® to validate the pOpmètre in children between 4 and 8 years old.
