Arterial compliance is an important cardiovascular parameter characterizing mechanical and structural properties of arteries and significantly influencing ventricular-arterial coupling. Decreased arterial compliance is associated with several physiological states and pathological processes. Furthermore, arterial compliance is influenced by other cardiovascular parameters even at short time scales. Today, there are numerous noninvasive methods of estimation arterial compliance in vivo introducing some level of confusion about selection of the best method for particular application and measurement setting. In this review, the most common noninvasive methods of arterial compliance estimation are summarized, discussed and categorized. Finally, interpretation of estimated arterial compliance in the context of other possible confounders is discussed.
动脉顺应性是一个重要的心血管参数，它描述了动脉的机械和结构特性，并显著影响心室-动脉偶联。动脉顺应性降低与多种生理状态和病理过程有关。此外，即使在短时间尺度上，动脉顺应性也受到其他心血管参数的影响。如今，有许多非侵入性的方法可以在体内估计动脉顺应性，这导致在选择特定应用和测量设置的最佳方法时存在一定程度的混淆。在这篇综述中，总结、讨论和分类了最常见的动脉顺应性估计的非侵入性方法。最后，讨论了在其他可能的混杂因素的背景下对估计的动脉顺应性的解释。
