Abstract(in English) We have proposed a non-invasive method for diagnosis of arteriosclerosis.By detecting small vibration on the aortic wall near the heart by the ultrasound doppler method,and applying the spectrum analysis to the resultant vibration signals,the pulse wave velocity and the elasticity of the aortic wall can be diagnosed transcutaneously.This paper presents investigations of local propagation characteristics of pulse wave on the arterial wall due to heart beat.Pulse wave velocity is obtained by analyzing the small vibrations measured simultaneously at two points on a vessel wall.The acoustic properties of the arteriosclerotic lesion will change regionally.Thus,from in-vitro fundamental experiments,it is confirmed that these local acoustic properties (stiffness) of the wall is evaluated.Through the experiments with the extracted human thoracic aorta,it is found that the stiffness of the aorta is increased with aging
