- •
Scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) is a potential tool for arterial stiffness.
- •
SAM provides a measure of the acoustic wave speed.
- •
In this pilot study, no clear trend was observed with pulse wave velocity.
- •
Blood pressure was inversely related with acoustic wave speed.
- •
Trends observed with other clinical markers such as glucose and total cholesterol.
