From: Validity and repeatability of the Vicorder apparatus: a comparison with the SphygmoCor device
The diagram shows the palpable point of the femoral pulse as used with the SphygmoCor device (black X) and the effective point of detection of the femoral pulse in the Vicorder thigh cuff (white X). The two points are separated by a distance (d). This distance of femoral artery is included in aPWV measurement by the Vicorder device, but not the SphygmoCor device.
