Pulse 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...
متن کاملAortic pulse wave velocity predicts focal white matter hyperintensities in a biracial cohort of older adults.
Although the cross-sectional relationship of arterial stiffness with cerebral small vessel disease is consistently shown in middle-aged and young-old adults, it is less clear whether these associations remain significant over time in very old adults. We hypothesize that arterial stiffness is longitudinally associated with white matter characteristics, and associations are stronger within waters...
متن کاملThe Association between Pulse Wave Velocity and Cognitive Function: The Sydney Memory and Ageing Study
OBJECTIVES Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a measure of arterial stiffness and its increase with ageing has been associated with damage to cerebral microvessels and cognitive impairment. This study examined the relationship between carotid-femoral PWV and specific domains of cognitive function in a non-demented elderly sample. METHOD Data were drawn from the Sydney Memory and Ageing Study, a coh...
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 کاملDeterminants of Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity and Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity in Healthy Koreans
The aim of this study was to determine the normal value of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) according to age group, gender, and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors in healthy Koreans, and to investigate the association between PWV and risk factors such as prehypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, and obesity. We measured an arteria...
