In addition, the day-to-day repeatability of the method was studied with 10 test subjects examined on three different days. The ratios of areas under the PWs were computed and the results were evaluated by means of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, intra-class correlation (ICC) coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Areas under ROC curves of 0.802\u20130.906 were found for different area ratios having statistically significant differences between the atheroslerotic group and control groups. ICCs over 0.80 were found widely for the beat-by-beat analyzed data and over 0.95 for the data based on the averages over different numbers of PWs. Multiple linear regression analysis showed linear dependence between the area ratios and age and the diagnosis of atherosclerosis.\n                    <jats:italic>Significance<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Our findings may facilitate development of novel diagnostic approaches and preventive strategies against cardiovascular disorders. However, further studies are needed to confirm the results. The presented study demonstrates the potential of arterial PW analysis in finding vascular abnormalities.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6579\/aaa46b","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,29]],"date-time":"2017-12-29T08:00:15Z","timestamp":1514534415000},"page":"025003","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Areas under peripheral pulse waves: a potential marker of atherosclerotic changes"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6624-0926","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mikko","family":"Peltokangas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tampere University of Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jarmo","family":"Verho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tampere University of Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ville M","family":"Mattila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tampere University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pekka","family":"Romsi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oulu University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antti","family":"Vehkaoja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tampere University of Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jukka","family":"Lekkala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tampere University of Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Niku","family":"Oksala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tampere University Hospital"},{"name":"University of Tampere"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmeaaaa46bbib001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"164","DOI":"10.4172\/2329-9495.1000164","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Repeatability of oscillometric determinations of the ankle-brachial index the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study","volume":"4","author":"Al-Qunaibet","year":"2016","journal-title":"Angiol.: Open Access"},{"key":"pmeaaaa46bbib002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/2251-6581-13-1","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Impact of hypertension on various markers of subclinical atherosclerosis in early type 2 diabetes","volume":"13","author":"Alatab","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
