Correlations between Postpartum Edema and Pulse Energy Measured by 3D Blood Pressure Pulse Analyzer

Pulse pressure, blood flow, and atherosclerosis.

B lood vessels are exposed to two kinds of dynamic mechanical forces. One of them is shear stress and the other is the cyclic strain of the vascular wall, which, according to the Laplace’s law, is mainly determined by cyclic change of blood pressure (BP). While shear stress directly affects endothelial cells, BP changes (and the resulting changes in arterial wall strain) influence all structure...

Pulse-by-pulse Energy Measurement at the Stanford Linear Collider*

The Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) collides a beam of electrons and positrons at 92 GeV. It is the first colliding linac, and produces Zo particles for High-Energy Physics measurements. The energy of each beam must be measured to one part in lo4 on every collision (120 Hz). An Energy Spectrometer in each beam line after collision produces two stripes of highenergy synchrotron radiation with cri...

Association between local pulse pressure, mean blood pressure, and large-artery remodeling.

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to determine the respective influences of local pulse pressure and mean blood pressure on arterial remodeling in humans at 2 arterial sites: a central, predominantly elastic artery (the common carotid artery) and a peripheral muscular artery (the radial artery). METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-three healthy subjects and 124 never-treated hypertensive pati...

Relationship between Resting Heart Rate, Blood Pressure and Pulse Pressure in Adolescents

Background: High resting heart rate is considered an important factor for increasing mortality chance in adults. However, it remains unclear whether the observed associations would remain after adjustment for confounders in adolescents. Objectives: To analyze the relationship between resting heart rate, blood pressure and pulse pressure in adolescents of both sexes. Methods: A cross-section...
