A new signal processing approach to estimation of local arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV) in superficial arterial segments using long-axis ultrasound measurements is proposed. The method is designed to be resistant to estimation bias due to pulse wave reflections. It is evaluated using a laboratory test tank, and it appears to estimate local PWV with less bias than previously accepted methods, and with similar estimation variance to those methods.
