Assessment of arterial compliance by carotid midwall strain-stress relation in normotensive adults.
Examining left ventricular midwall as opposed to endocardial mechanics enhances understanding of left ventricular function in individuals with abnormal cardiac geometry. Accordingly, we used carotid ultrasound and applanation tonometry of arterial pressure to derive carotid midwall strain and its relation to carotid peak-systolic and end-diastolic stresses in 82 apparently normal, employed subj...
متن کاملAssessment of arterial compliance by carotid midwall strain-stress relation in hypertension.
To elucidate the relations between arterial hypertrophy and compliance in hypertension, we studied 205 unmedicated hypertensive patients (129 men and 76 women) and 82 normotensive adults (56 men and 26 women) from an employed population by carotid ultrasound, noninvasive applanation tonometry, and echocardiography. Carotid midwall strain and circumferential stress were calculated at end diastol...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular function by the midwall fractional shortening/end-systolic stress relation in human hypertension.
OBJECTIVES This study examined left ventricular performance in relatively unselected hypertensive patients by use of physiologically appropriate midwall shortening/end-systolic stress relations. BACKGROUND Supranormal left ventricular function has been reported in hypertensive patients, possibly due to an artifact of mismatching endocardial rather than midwall fractional shortening to mean le...
متن کاملPrevalence of carotid arterial diseases in patients undergoing CABG operations
Introduction: Prevalence of stroke following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is % 2.1-5.2 and associated with high mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of carotid artery disease in patients undergoing CABG surgery. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in the years 2010-2011 on 192 patients who underwent open heart surgery (CABG) in...
متن کاملRelation between left ventricular midwall function and coronary vasodilator capacity in arterial hypertension.
In systemic hypertension, depressed left ventricular midwall shortening predicts an adverse outcome and is associated with increased left ventricular relative wall thickness, which has been proposed as an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk and reduced coronary reserve. This study was designed to investigate whether depressed midwall shortening is associated with more critical impairme...
