Retrieves normal reference values (median, 5th percentile, 95th percentile) for aortic pulse wave velocity based on the subject's age. The API matches the provided age to an age category (e.g., "30-39") in the reference data to find the correct values.
Provides normal reference values for aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) in adults, stratified by age. PWV is a measure of arterial stiffness.
This endpoint retrieves data for regional pulse wave velocity from the ascending to the upper descending thoracic aorta.
Important Notes:
- HTTP Status Code: Due to Google Apps Script limitations, all responses are returned with an HTTP
200 OKstatus. It is crucial to inspect the JSON body for anerrorfield to determine if the request was actually successful. - Intended Status: A successful response will not have an
errorfield. A failed response will include anintended_statusfield (e.g., 400, 404, 500) to indicate the logical status of the request.
Gender Parameter: While the gender parameter is required for API consistency, the current reference dataset for PWV is not stratified by gender, so it does not affect the lookup result. It is, however, echoed in the inputs section of the response.
