2.4. Pulse Wave Analysis Every participant underwent a radial pulse wave analysis using the SphygmoCor System (AtCor Medical, Sydney, NSW, Australia). Radial artery applanation tonometry is a valid technique to easily assess pulse wave recording [27]. Subjects were asked to abstain from caffeine, alcohol and tobacco on the day of measurement. The subjects were asked to only take a light meal before the measurement.
