Background: Arterial stiffness is a reversible precursor to hypertension. However, research is needed to determine the minimum amount of training required before acceptable arterial stiffness measurements are collected by novice operators. Objective: to compare novice vs experienced operator measurements over a two-week training period to assess when expert-like measures are achieved by the novice operator. Method: Forty-one participants (18 males, 23 females, age: 46.6±14.9 years; BMI: 25.2±3.8; systolic blood pressure: 122.8±14.7 …
