Aim: To assess normal values on the common artery by using new methodology using shear wave methods in healthy subjects

Methods: Healthy subjects underwent aortic stiffness by using shear wave echography (Aixplorer) at the carotid artery. All subjects were free from cardiovascular disease and medication. PWV at the beginning of systole (BS) and the end systolic (ES) of the cardiac cycle.

Results: 32 healthy subjects (16 male and 16 female) were included. The mean age was 41y.o (23 to 61). BS PWV 4.35/ 0.32 (3.18 to 5.37) and ES PWV was 5.96/ 0.45 (4.58 to 9.8) m/s.

Both ES PWV and BS PWV have high correlation with age (r2: 0.64 and 0.58 respectively, p<0.0001).

Conclusion: Arterial stiffness assessed by ultrafast imaging is a promising method for assessment of arterial stiffness, which can potentially be clinically useful.
