Augmentation index assessed by applanation tonometry is elevated in Marfan Syndrome

BACKGROUND To examine whether augmentation index (AIx) is increased in Marfan syndrome (MFS) and associated with increased aortic root size, and whether a peripheral-to-central generalised transfer function (GTF) can be applied usefully in MFS. METHODS 10 MFS patients and 10 healthy controls (matched for sex, age and height) were studied before and after 400 microg sub-lingual GTN. Arterial w...

Diurnal Variation of Pulse Wave Velocity Assessed Non-Invasively by Applanation Tonometry in Young Healthy Men

PURPOSE Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is at least partially controlled by vascular tone. Vascular tone and underlying physiological processes such as sympathetic activity, plasma catecholamin, and cortisol levels have been shown to follow diurnal variations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Carotid-to-radial PWV was non-invasively assessed by applanation tonometry in 21 young (26.5+/-2.3 years) healthy men ...

Maternal wave reflections and arterial stiffness in normal pregnancy as assessed by applanation tonometry.

Normal pregnancy is associated with profound alterations in the maternal cardiovascular system. The aim of the present study was to assess noninvasively, using applanation tonometry, the maternal central aortic blood pressures (BP), effects of wave reflection and arterial stiffness (aortic and brachial pulse wave velocity) in normal pregnancy. This was a cross sectional study including 193 wome...

[Rebound tonometry in a clinical setting. Comparison with applanation tonometry].

PURPOSE Rebound tonometry has recently been modified for its use in humans. The purpose of our study was to determine the precision of the ICare(R) rebound tonometer (RBT) as compared with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT). METHODS Patients were recruited from our Hospital's Glaucoma Unit. In each patient, intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured without anaesthesia using the RBT and te...

Comparison Between Dynamic Contour Tonometry and Goldmann Applanation Tonometry

PURPOSE To compare the intraocular pressures (IOPs) measured by dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), and to investigate the association of IOPs on eyes of varying central corneal thickness (CCT). METHODS In this prospective study, 451 eyes of 233 subjects were enrolled. IOPs were measured by GAT and DCT. CCT was measured three times and the average was cal...
