Part Description
LP189762-0 Cardio-ankle vascular index
The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) reflects the stiffness of the aorta, femoral and tibial arteries, may be a marker of coronary arteriosclerosis, and is theoretically not affected by blood pressure. It is calculated based on measurements from EKG, phonocardiogram, brachial artery waveform, and ankle artery waveform. PMID: 17541212 PMID: 18957805

Formula (Readable)
Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) = a{(2ρ/ΔP) × ln (SBP/DBP)PWV2} + b, where SBP is systolic blood pressure, DBP is diastolic blood pressure, ΔP is SBP − DBP, ρ is blood density, PWV is pulse wave velocity, and a and b are constants to match aortic PWV.
