چکیده
Background and aimsThe aim of this study was to examine an association individual combined pulse waveform parameters derived from bioimpedance measurements, that is waves a distal impedance plethysmographic (IPG), whole-body cardiographic (ICG) transformed (tIPG) signals, with markers subclinical atherosclerosis, i.e. carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) distensibility (Cdist). The level the also compared for arterial wave velocity (PWV) cIMT, FMD, Cdist.MethodsIPG, ICG, tIPG signals were measured 1741 Finnish adults aged 30–45 years. between FMD Cdist studied using bootstrapped stepwise Akaike's Information Criterion method resulting in selection other than PWV, having stronger model. Then risk scores calculated selected their multivariable linear regression analysis.ResultsThe score found be third strongest predictor atherosclerosis as indicated by cIMT measurement, second Cdist. These findings show several associated more strongly PWV when adjusted clinical factors.ConclusionsImpedance based analysis provides useful tool assessing cardiovascular estimating presence structural changes vasculature.

Implantable Impedance Plethysmography
We demonstrate by theory, as well as by ex vivo and in vivo measurements that impedance plethysmography, applied extravascularly directly on large arteries, is a viable method for monitoring various cardiovascular parameters, such as blood pressure, with high accuracy. The sensor is designed as an implant to monitor cardiac events and arteriosclerotic progression over the long term.
متن کاملLimitations of electric impedance plethysmography.
Klectrie impedance plethysmography has been offered as a substitute for mechanical plethysmography and would be particularly suitable for regions in which the mechanical method cannot be applied. A comparative investigation of mechanical and impedance plethysmograms, taken simultaneously from a finger or a forearm, revealed that, while the normal pulsations were reproduced reasonably well, elec...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
the role of application of dynamic assessment approach in improvement of iranian efl writing performance at different language proficiency levels
the present study sought to investigate the role of dynamic assessment (da) in improvement of iranian efl writing performance at different language proficiency levels. to this end, after conducting the quick placement test, 60 iranian efl learners were assigned to two groups with different language proficiency levels. in both groups each participant wrote two compositions, one before and one af...
Noninvasive assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis in children and adolescents.
Noninvasive Assessment of Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Children and Adolescents To the Editor: Standards relating to the assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis in children are important, especially given the large variation that exists in the “normative” data being published. This variability can, at least in part, be ascribed to variability and inconsistency in the application of the tech...
