Effect of riociguat on pulmonary arterial compliance in the PATENT and CHEST studies [PDF]

Pulmonary Circulation, 2020
Pulmonary arterial compliance is a measure of the pulsatile afterload of the right ventricle. Lower pulmonary arterial compliance is associated with reduced right ventricular function and worse prognosis in pulmonary hypertension. The effect of pulmonary

Increasing arterial compliance by laser modification of fibro-calcific plaques [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundCalcium is a constituent of numerous types of atherosclerotic plaques. While various vessel modification devices have been introduced, plaque heterogeneity presents a challenge to direct therapy to specific components within the arterial wall ...

Fractional-Order Modeling of Arterial Compliance in Vascular Aging: A Computational Biomechanical Approach for Investigating Cardiovascular Dynamics [PDF]

IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology
Goal: The goal of this study is to investigate the application of fractional-order calculus in modeling arterial compliance in human vascular aging. Methods: A novel fractional-order modified arterial Windkessel model that incorporates a fractional-order

A method to assess linear self-predictability of physiologic processes in the frequency domain: application to beat-to-beat variability of arterial compliance [PDF]

Frontiers in Network Physiology
The concept of self-predictability plays a key role for the analysis of the self-driven dynamics of physiological processes displaying richness of oscillatory rhythms.

Robust arterial compliance estimation with Katz’s fractal dimension of photoplethysmography [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
Arterial compliance (AC) plays a crucial role in vascular aging and cardiovascular disease. The ability to continuously estimate aortic AC or its surrogate, pulse pressure (PP), through wearable devices is highly desirable, given its strong association ...

Cross-sectional compliance overestimates arterial compliance because it neglects the axial strain [PDF]

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2003
A high resolution echo-tracking system permits the calculation of cross-sectional compliance considering vessel diameter variations alone, and assumes that longitudinal movement of the vessel wall due to pulse pressure is negligible.

Sedentary Behavior in Childhood, Lower Arterial Compliance and Decreased Endothelial Function-Cross Sectional Data From a German School Cohort [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
BackgroundEndothelial function by flow-mediated dilatation assesses early markers of atherosclerotic progression. Greater amounts of physical activity and physical fitness in children are associated with cardiovascular health benefits.

Arterial compliance is improved via enteral serine protease inhibition in experimental trauma/hemorrhagic shock [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
BackgroundSystemic hypotension remains a challenge in trauma/hemorrhagic shock (T/HS). Despite intensive vasopressor and fluid therapy, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) may become refractory to treatment.

The effect of acute aerobic exercise on arterial stiffness in individuals with different body fat percentages: A cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundBody fat percentage were positively correlated with arterial stiffness, but the acute change in arterial stiffness after aerobic exercise in individuals with different body fat percentages remains unclear.
