Association between calf circumference and cardiovascular health indicators in patients with peripheral artery disease [PDF]

Einstein (São Paulo)
Objective: To analyze the association between calf circumference and cardiovascular indicators in men and women with symptomatic peripheral artery disease. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 259 patients with peripheral artery disease (65% men;

The acute and chronic effects of local aerobic exercise on cardiovascular physiology

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise training has beneficial effects for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Effects of exercise training have typically been studied in the form of whole‐body exercise training, partly driven by the assumption that larger effects of exercise training can be achieved by involving more and larger muscle groups.

Comparison of two walk tests in determining the claudication distance in patients suffering from peripheral arterial occlusive disease

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2015
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) in terms of the initial onset of pain (IOP), maximal claudicating pain (MCP), maximum walking distance (MWD), initial ankle ...

The Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index and Ankle-Brachial Index in Young Russians

Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, 2015
A noninvasive approach to assess atherosclerosis in young people is of great concern. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) reflect the arterial conditions, although the CAVI has not fully been studied in Russian populations. This study aimed to determine the CAVI and ABI in young Russians, to compare these findings with

Acute lower leg transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation increases leg blood flow and exercise capacity in patients with peripheral arterial disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We tested the hypothesis that two different durations of lower leg transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) increase post‐TENS popliteal artery blood flow (PABF), popliteal vascular conductance (PVC), and 6‐min walk distance (6MWD) in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Comparison of exercise training and repeated hot water immersion on vascular function in overweight older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent studies suggest that heat exposure may benefit cardiovascular health, but in overweight and obese older adults, the chronic effects of heat therapy on artery function are still uncertain. We aimed to compare the effects of 12 weeks (3×/week, 40 min) of aerobic exercise (EXE) to hot water immersion (HWI) and an inactive control group ...

Effect of Wave Reflection and Arterial Stiffness on the Risk of Development of Hypertension in Japanese Men

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundWe conducted analyses of repeated‐measures data to examine whether pressure wave reflection acts additively or synergistically with arterial stiffness in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

Unveiling the role of the venous system in arterial hypertension: A computational study

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This abstract figure summarizes the principal findings of our computational analysis of hypertension. Model‐based results identify reduced venous compliance as a major determinant of elevated arterial pressure, second only to increased peripheral resistance.

Screening for peripheral artery disease: focus on toe-brachial index

Cardiologia Hungarica
Toe-brachial index (TBI) measurement helps to detect peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with incompressible ankle arteries due to medial sclerosis, most frequently associated with diabetes.
