Figure 2. — Schematic for the measurement of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). baPWV is estimated as the length between the sternal notch and the ankle (L_SA) minus the sternal notch to brachium (L_SB), as determined by body surface measurements or height-based formulas, divided by the time delay between brachial and ankle waveforms (∆T_BA). Note: solid line denotes effective path length.
