title: A comparison between local wave speed in the carotid and femoral arteries in healthy humans: application of a new method.
abstract: The wave speed (c) and the arrival time of reflected wave (Trw) in the common left carotid artery and common left femoral artery have been evaluated in 70 healthy subjects, aged 35-55 years with a non-invasive method.
