University Medicine Greifswald

Status: Enrolling

Conditions: Arrythmia; Blood Pressure; Arterial Stiffness

Treatments: Device: Pulse wave measurement and analysis

Study type: Observational

Details and patient eligibility

About

The primary goal of the study is to compare different methods for pulse wave measurement and analysis which are cuffless and contactless. The novel measurement tools will be compared to cuff-based reference methods.
