Determinants of radial artery pulse wave analysis in asymptomatic individuals.
BACKGROUND Noninvasive techniques to evaluate arterial stiffness include noninvasive radial artery pulse contour analysis. Diastolic pulse contour analysis provides a separate assessment of large (C1) and small artery (C2) elasticity. Analysis of the systolic pulse contour identifies two pressure peaks (P1 and P2) that relate to incident and reflected waves. This study aimed to compare indices ...
متن کاملChronic antihypertensive treatment improves pulse pressure but not large artery mechanics in a mouse model of congenital vascular stiffness.
Increased arterial stiffness is a common characteristic of humans with Williams-Beuren syndrome and mouse models of elastin insufficiency. Arterial stiffness is associated with multiple negative cardiovascular outcomes, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and sudden death. Therefore, identifying therapeutic interventions that improve arterial stiffness in response to changes in elastin lev...
متن کاملPlasma Homocysteine Is Associated with Aortic Arterial Stiffness but not Wave Reflection in Chinese Hypertensive Subjects
OBJECTIVE Elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) acts synergistically with hypertension to exert a multiplicative effect on cardiovascular diseases risk. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between tHcy concentration and blood pressure, and to evaluate the role of plasma tHcy in arterial stiffness and wave reflection in hypertension. METHODS In this cross-sectional stud...
متن کاملDetermination of brachial artery stiffness prior to vascular access creation: reproducibility of pulse wave velocity assessment.
BACKGROUND Despite routine ultrasound mapping of upper extremity arteries and veins, early thrombosis and nonmaturation remain frequent complications following vascular access (VA) surgery. Besides vascular diameters, brachial artery stiffness is assumed to play an important role; however, reproducibility of measurements has never been established. The purpose of this study was to determine wit...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness and Pulse Wave Reflection Are Increased in Patients Suffering from Severe Periodontitis
AIM This single blind cross-sectional study compared the vascular health of subjects suffering from severe chronic periodontitis, severe aggressive periodontitis and periodontal healthy controls by evaluating pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AIx) and pulse pressure amplification (PPA). MATERIAL AND METHODS In a total of 158 subjects, 92 suffering from severe periodontitis and 66...
