Pulmonary pulse wave velocity as assessed with velocity-encoded MRI
Methods In 15 healthy volunteers (7 male; mean±SD age 19±6 years) pulmonary PWV was prospectively assessed between the proximal main pulmonary artery (MPA) and just before the first branching of the distal left pulmonary artery (LPA). One-directional through-plane velocity-encoded (VE) MRI using breath holds was used to assess the pulmonary flow at the levels of MPA and distal LPA with a tempor...
متن کاملMRI estimate of central and peripheral pulse-wave velocity via velocity-encoded projections
Introduction Stiffening of the aorta results in increased pulse wave velocity (PWV), the propagation velocity of the blood motion. Aortic stiffness has been shown to correlate with aging [1], but is also indicative of atherosclerotic alterations and as a measure of cardiovascular risk [2]. Quantification of peripheral PWV (e.g. iliac, femoral and popliteal arteries) has received much less atten...
متن کاملAccuracy of aortic pulse wave velocity assessment with velocity-encoded MRI: validation in patients with Marfan syndrome
Introduction The leading cause of premature death in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) is aortic dissection and subsequent rupture after progressive aorta dilatation due to increased wall stiffening. Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), defined as the systolic flow velocity wave front propagation speed through the aorta, is a marker of wall stiffness with proven prognostic value in MFS. Recently it was...
متن کاملPulse wave velocity measurement
The article deals with the investigation of pulse wave propagation in arteries. A part of work involves also design and realization of devices serving for scanning of pulse wave by reflective photoplethysmography. The work describes a use of microcontroller serving for data flow control, communication and analog signal digitalization using integrated analog to digital converter.
متن کاملPulse Wave Analysis and Pulse Wave Velocity
momanometer that provides arterial pressures (brachial systolic and diastolic pressure) is coming under question. The concerns extend well beyond the familiar issue of “white coat” hypertension, home and 24-h blood pressure recordings, and the phase-out of mercury based instruments. These concerns relate to the inaccuracy of all cuff devices for measuring pressure within the brachial artery, th...
