Abstract
UNLABELLED: Vascular ageing is known to be accompanied by arterial stiffening and vascular endothelial dysfunction, and represents an independent factor contributing to the development of cardiovascular disease. The microvascular pulse is affected by the biomechanical alterations of the circulatory system, and has been the focus of studies aiming at the development of non-invasive methods able to extract physiologically relevant features.
