Synergist upper-limb resistance training reduces blood pressure in young normotensive men: a piloty study

Lifestyle Journal
Purpose: We aimed to verify the effects of 8 weeks of resistance training on the synergistic and non-synergistic routines on peripheral and central blood pressure, biochemical variables, and pulse wave behavior recreationally trained men.

Trimethylamine N‐oxide is elevated in postmenopausal women relative to age‐matched men and premenopausal women among individuals with obesity

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Trimethylamine N‐oxide (TMAO) is linked to arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk increases following menopause in women. Whether menopause influences plasma TMAO metabolism to mediate CVD risk is unknown.

Applanation Tonometry for Assessment of Left Ventricular Systolic Load [PDF]

Journal of Biomedical & Clinical Research, 2019
Vascular-ventricular coupling is a major determinant of left ventricular load. The aim of our study was to assess non- invasively left ventricular load and its dependency on central hemodynamics.

Impaired Windkessel function and proximal aortic stiffness: Linking vascular ageing to cognitive decline

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

How to measure intraocular pressure: Schiötz tonometry

Community Eye Health Journal, 2008
If glaucoma is diagnosed early, treatment can then be given that may preserve vision. Although raised intraocular pressure (IOP) is not the only sign of glaucoma, the IOP should be checked routinely on all adults attending eye care facilities ...

Comparison of Dynamic Contour Tonometry with Goldmann Applanation Tonometry

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2004
The dynamic contour tonometer (DCT; Pascal tonometer) is a novel tonometer designed to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) independent of corneal properties. The purpose of this study was a comparison of the DCT with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) with respect to mean of IOP readings, the influence of ocular structural factors on IOP readings,

Influence of menstrual cycle phase on inflammatory and vascular responses to acute passive heating in healthy young women

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether inflammatory and vascular responses to passive heating differ between the early follicular phase (EFP) and the mid‐luteal phase (MLP) of the menstrual cycle. Ten healthy, naturally menstruating females (26 ± 3 years of age; body mass index 21.4 ± 1.9 kg/m2) were assessed during EFP and MLP ...

Evidence of racial differences in peripheral blood pressure, central haemodynamics and arterial stiffness between young Black and White women

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypertension diagnosed via peripheral (brachial) blood pressure (pBP) is a strong independent predictor of overt cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, central (aortic) blood pressure (cBP), which is influenced by arterial stiffness, may be more strongly associated with CVD risk. Young Black women (BLW) demonstrate higher pBP than White women (

Exploring physiological factors underlying individual differences in exercise‐induced blood pressure responses

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Even among healthy individuals, arterial blood pressure (ABP) responses to exercise vary widely. However, the mechanisms underlying this individual variability remain unclear. To investigate these mechanisms, 29 participants performed isometric handgrip exercise at 30% of their maximum voluntary contraction, followed by postexercise muscle ...
