Description
Lan Yang and nine co-authors test three pulse-based measures as markers of blood vessel aging, in this 2026 paper. The measures come from pulse wave analysis at the wrist or arm. One gauges how well the heart's own muscle is fed. Two gauge the boost that reflected waves add to pressure. The team asked how they track age and heart risk in China.
The study covered 3,354 adults aged 18 to 80 with strong heart pump function. Ten-year risk was scored with a China-specific model. Higher risk went with a lower feeding ratio and higher values of both wave measures. All three stayed linked to risk after other factors were counted. The authors propose the trio as a cheap add-on profile for sorting heart risk in clinic visits, beyond the usual factors.
