title: An experimental measurement complex for probable estimation of arterial stiffness.
abstract: Current work is a part of long term research, which aim is to study the possibilities to diagnose the atherosclerosis in early stadium by using pulse wave velocity and its waveform analysis. The mobile experimental measurement complex is built and technically tested for the long term study in hospital. Measurement complex consists of ten physiological signal recording channels and reference devices: Sphygmocor, Arteriograph, Finapres. The measurements with this complex are planned to carry out during six month on patients with different severity of coronary disease and diabetes.
