Day-to-day repeatability of the Pulse Time Index of Norm

Abstract: The pulse wave velocity (PWV) threshold for hypertensive target organ damage is presently set at 10 meters per second. New 24-hour monitors (eg, BPLab® and Vasotens®) provide several PWV measurements over a period of 24–72 hours. A new parameter, ie, the Pulse Time Index of Norm (PTIN), can be calculated from these data. The PTIN is defined as the percentage of a 24-hour period during which the PWV does not exceed 10 meters per second. The aim of the present study was to test the new PTIN for clinical feasibil… Show more

“…Our previous work on the reliability of PTIN shows its good repeatability 22. Thus, given the above results, we believe that the PTIN especially during the “asleep” period should also be considered in forthcoming research.…”

“…The difference in time between the first wave and the second wave (i.e., the reflected wave) correlates to the distance, according to the manufacturer's instructions, and allows calculation of the pulse wave velocity (PWV). A detailed description of the Vasotens methodology may be found in previous publications [ 10 , 12 , 17 ].…”

“…The accuracy of this device has previously been validated for ABPM 5. There have been other validations for vascular indexes 68. The principle of the oscillometric method is based on plethysmography and registers pulsatile pressure changes in the brachial artery.…”
