Radial Diastolic Augmentation Index Is a Useful Predictor of Arterial Stiffness
Diastolic augmentation index (DAI), calculated from radial artery pressure waveform, has been associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate whether DAI could be used as a predictor of arterial stiffness and the effect of heart rate (HR) on it.Measurements of anthropometric parameters, blood pressure (BP),Augmentation index (AI) andDAIwere taken i...
متن کاملPeripheral augmentation index and wave reflection in the radial artery.
Peripheral Augmentation Index and Wave Reflection in the Radial Artery To the Editor: We were interested to read the recent article by Munir et al1 and congratulate them on making a valuable contribution to the field of pulse wave analysis. They and Payne and Webb, in their accompanying editorial,2 ponder why the late systolic shoulder (SBP2) corresponds so closely with central systolic blood p...
متن کاملDominance Detection in Meetings Using Easily Obtainable Features
We show that, using a Support Vector Machine classifier, it is possible to determine with a 75% success rate who dominated a particular meeting on the basis of a few basic features. We discuss the corpus we have used, the way we had people judge dominance and the features that were used.
متن کاملFactors associated with increased radial augmentation index in hypertensive individuals.
BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness is a variable predictor of morbidity and mortality and a possible marker of vascular injury. Its non-invasive assessment by radial tonometry and analysis of the augmentation index (r-AI) allows identifying patients exposed to higher cardiovascular risk. OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of r-AI on clinical-biochemical variables and its influence on the prevalenc...
متن کاملRapid and simple method for preparation of genomic DNA from easily obtainable clotted blood.
A method was developed for the preparation of genomic DNA from clotted blood that is usually discarded after extraction, for other laboratory tests. The method, which involves proteinase K digestion, salt/chloroform extraction and 90% ethanol precipitation of DNA from clotted blood, is rapid, simple, and easy because it does not impose an extra burden on the patient.
