Arterial stiffness and central blood pressure, as determined by pulse wave analysis, in rheumatoid arthritis.
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality for reasons which are insufficiently understood. Chronic inflammation may impair vascular function and lead to an increase of arterial stiffness, an important determinant of cardiovascular risk. OBJECTIVE To investigate the augmentation index (AIx) as a measure of arterial stiffness in patients with RA,...

متن کاملCentral blood pressure and hypertension.
During the 20th century, the brachial artery auscultatory method of blood pressure (BP) measurement has been the major basis for our understanding of clinical hypertension. First, the height of systolic (S) and diastolic (D) BP was used to define cardiovascular (CV) risk. Second, BP reduction by drug treatment was shown to be associated with a substantial decrease of CV risk in several varietie...
متن کاملStatins, central blood pressure, and blood pressure amplification.
It is well established that blood pressure (BP) differs markedly between peripheral (brachial) and central arteries (aorta).1 As the pressure wave travels distally from the heart, mean BP and diastolic BP decrease slightly (1 to 2 mm Hg), but a gradual and significant increase of systolic BP (SBP) and pulse pressure (PP) occurs. This phenomenon is called BP amplification.1 The development of co...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP), Central Venous Pressure (CVP), and Intracranial Pressure (ICP)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death for children and young adults in the U.S. Current therapy is targeted towards treating hypertension in ICP after they occur. We investigated the change in the signal characteristics of three simultaneously recorded signals before and after an acute episode of intracranial hypertension. In this paper, we report statistical evidence of ch...
