BACKGROUND Blood pressure (BP) has been proven to play an important role in changes of the morphology of a pulse waveform. However, the extent of change of the morphology because of BP signaling has yet to be accurately confirmed. OBJECTIVES This study aims to disclose the accurate effect of BP on the changes in the morphology of the pulse waveform. METHODS Two dogs' invasive intraventricul...

We have studied the relation between left ventricular peak systolic pressure and endsystolic volume in 12 normal subjects and 12 patients with coronary artery disease. Peak systolic pressure was measured with a cuff sphygmomanometer and left ventricular volumes were determined by radionuclide ventriculography. Observations were made at rest, after 1 mg atropine, and during at least three increm...

purpose : to investigate the association of primary open angle glaucoma (poag) and systemic hypertension in patients referred to farabi eye hospital methods : in this case-control study in farabi eye hospital. one hundred patients were selected randomly from poag patients of glaucoma clinic, farabi eye hospital. control group consists of 100 patients, candidates for cataract surgery. history of...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether diabetes and regular hemodialysis are associated with false elevation of ankle systolic blood pressure and ankle-brachial systolic pressure index (ABI) because of their arterial calcification in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We recruited 269 Japanese patients who underwent endovascular therapy for CLI. Ankle systolic b...
