1. A method of determining an estimated pulse wave velocity of an artery of a subject, comprising:

  • applying a series of counter pressures at a set location on the subject over the artery with a pressure device, wherein each of the series of counter pressures is different from one another, applied at the set location, and between zero and a diastolic pressure of the subject;

    measuring a first parameter related to pulse wave velocity when each of the series of counter pressures is applied;

    estimating a second parameter in a model establishing a relationship of the first parameter measured to each of the series of counter pressures; and

    determining the estimated pulse wave velocity based on the second parameter estimated in the model.
